We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of “autumn walks”. Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.
Susan Lang
Susan Lang: “An afternoon walk in the Cotswolds. The light was beginning to fade so we were heading home down this quiet no through road that’s mainly used by walkers and horse riders. It was eerie in the fog – and we heard something moving around in the wood.”
Rudolf van Brederode
Rudolf van Brederode: “Having a lovely encounter with a hairy local at Castle Roy near Nethy Bridge [Inverness].”
Doris Enders
Doris Enders: “In autumn, most of the acorns had already fallen to the ground. This one got stuck on a barbwire.”
Paul Richards
Paul Richards: “Walk from Goytre Wharf [Monmouthshire].”
Catherine Quick
Catherine Quick: “Walking through the Bronx Zoo, [New York] the reflections of the autumnal trees in the swirling lake water caught my eye.”
Carlos Rodero
Carlos Rodero: “Autumn season in the Serranía de Cuenca Natural Park [Spain].”
Lukasz Wojtylak
Lukasz Wojtylak: “A lone bench in a park near Vysehrad, Prague, Czech Republic. It seems no-one had used it since the autumn began.”
Dave Jones
Dave Jones: “I’m too lazy to plan photos. But when I pointed my camera along this pleasing row of trees, in early autumn, my good friend Joe unexpectedly leapt into the shot and made it a hundred times better. Thanks Joe.”
Jean Crosland
Jean Crosland: “My dog Ziggy catching autumn leaves.”
Mark Ballett
Mark Ballett: “Time for Carol, Milou, and Molly to take a rest after a long walk along the coast.”
Ian Hawley
Ian Hawley: “King of the castle in Bradgate Park [Leics] keeping a watchful eye over the intruder into his space.”
Matthew Logan
Matthew Logan: “These towering aspens on Humphrey’s Peak near the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort, outside of Flagstaff, are a major tourist attraction each autumn.”
Michael Shaw
Michael Shaw: “Autumn stars, leaves on the pavement on an October stroll.”
Josh Skelding
Josh Skelding: “An autumn walk through the vineyard.”
Judith Christy
Judith Christy: “My husband and I were being ‘accompanied’ by these ever-hopeful ducks on our walk around Ngatea Water Gardens, in New Zealand.”
Sandhya Bhattaram
Sandhya Bhattaram: “While strolling through Bushy Park, [London] I was amazed to see a group of deer making their way across a small stream gracefully.”
John Lanagan
John Lanagan: “Caught in a November downpour, Christchurch Park, Ipswich. Taken from the comfort of Christchurch Mansion.”
Helen C Green
Helen C Green: “I love walking along the piers in Whitby [N Yorks] especially when the waves are pretty wild. I got a light sprinkling of sea-spray, as I’m sure this walker did too.”
David Jenks
David Jenks: “I found these acorn cupules during a recent autumn wooded walk and thought they created a nice photo image.”
Maria Peer
Maria Peer: “I live in Austria, in a foggy area near Linz, and took this picture during one of my regular walks.”
