October 2025 - Winterthur
About the Image(s)
I visited a local estate called "Winterthur" last weekend and enjoyed a walking tour with one of the lead gardeners. The focus was on October blooms and I was so taken with this view I had to take a whole series of photos with my iPhone.
I worked on this image in both the Apple Photos app and also Lightroom. Many masks, a vignette, and played with the colors some. Really -- there wasn't much to do -- the view was really gorgeous!

Doug, When I first heard the name Winterthur, I thought of the Swiss town and was a bit confused.
Then I realized it's Winterthur, Delaware. There's interesting reading about the town.
And photographically, it's a place for wonderful landscape shots.
Your photo draws me right into the landscape.
I walk over the bridge in the lower left foreground down to the stream.
There I walk along the river to the small house and from there, I let my gaze sweep once more over the hilly landscape. I enjoy the sunshine. Wonderful!
An October stroll for the soul.
Perhaps you'd also like your picture in panorama format. Posted: 10/08/2025 20:48:44
