Observing the kaleidoscope of color changes that autumn brings to the upper midwest fills me with great joy each year.

arctangent > Ginkgo wreath.

In answer to the question, no I didn't arrange the leaves.  I found them exactly as you see them, cigarette butts and all.  (I almost never groom my photo subjects, beyond removing the odd twig or blade of grass.)
arctangent > Lincoln Street bench #3
arctangent > Lincoln Street, Grand Rapids, Ohio, looking toward Front Street, the 'main drag' in this tiny town.

No longer a street in the true sense, but a brick-paved pedestrian access to the Gilead Sidecut Canal, the towpath, and the Maumee River.  In autumn, Ginkgo trees transform the space into something magical.  The stop sign is for a service drive that runs behind the buildings that face Front Street.

#3  In-your-face red.
arctangent > Sweet gum foliage.

#2 Every shade of red.
arctangent > Sweet gum foliage.  The sweet gum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua) is one of the most colorful trees of autumn.  The colors are deep, rich, and varied, both from tree to tree and within a single tree.  

Different cultivars tend to develop their own unique fall colorations.  Some cultivars are distinctly more hardy than others, which accounts for the presence of numerous specimens thriving in urban environments far north of the conventional range of native growth.

#1. With maple in the background.

Late October.
