Fall Colour at Maple Mountain

Autumn leaves have a certain luminousity to them that somehow seems to defy being captured on film or CCD. This image is an attempt with a 35mm SLR to preserve forever the rich gold foliage of the maple trees on the hike up to the summit of Maple Mountain, near Temagami, Ontario Canada.
It was a glorious trip, even though it took us two tries to get there.
