This autumn, I explored the German Mittelgebirge, specifically the Harz, Rhön, Spessart, and Hainich National Park in Thuringia. My photographic focus was on the beech forests, where the season painted the landscape in soft hues of orange, yellow, and hints of green.

As I wandered through these woodlands, and sometimes viewed them from above, I found a quiet beauty in the interplay of light and shadow. The rustling leaves and crisp air fostered a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for reflection and capturing the moment.
