The fallen leaves of Autumn portray a story of the tribulations and journey of the months prior. As the days grow shorter and the nights grow colder, the boundless forests have lost their emerald glow, as they become enveloped in shades of amber and golden grace.

Across the dusk-strewn horizon, they gaze at the setting sun and cold, rapid waters of the distant river. Under apricot clouds and gusts of mountain winds, the blessing of Autumn provides them a opportunity to reflect upon the fading days of this year.
