A close-up of autumn maple leaves with green, yellow, and brown hues, softly blurred background.

The "problem" with the fall season here in Shanghai is that not all the leaves change color around the same time. Some trees can't even decide what color their leaves should be at any given time.

A close-up of a plant with reddish-brown and green leaves, set against a softly blurred background of blue and green bokeh lights in a sunlit garden.

A black and white, low-angle shot captures a multi-level wooden observation tower nestled among tall trees with bare branches. The structure features open platforms and railings, surrounded by a bamboo fence at its base, all set against a bright sky filtered through the dense canopy.

A black and white, low-angle view looking up through a dense bamboo forest. Tall, slender bamboo stalks rise vertically, converging toward the bright sky at the top of the frame. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating dappled light and shadows. The ground is covered in a thick layer of fallen bamboo leaves and debris.

A delicate, intricate spiderweb glistens in black and white, suspended against a softly blurred background of dappled light and foliage. A single, dark, curved wire hangs in the upper right, contrasting with the fine, radial threads of the web.

A close-up of a vintage bicycle saddle, featuring a worn, reddish-brown leather seat with visible stitching and a slightly frayed edge. The seat is mounted on a rusty, spring-loaded post, with the metal components showing signs of age and use. The background is softly blurred, drawing focus to the textured details of the saddle and its mechanical base.

I can totally see myself starting an old bike parts photography project.

Dei tronchi sradicati sono adagiati nel letto del fiume in tratto in cui, sull'acqua stagnante, delle alghe di un verde vivo ne ricoprono la superficie. Sulla sponda del fiume, la vegetazione è ormai spoglia e secca.
