Duncan Rawlinson photographed this aerial view over the 1000 Islands region of Ontario, Canada. The low-angle light picks out individual trees in their fall colors scattered across open fields and along a pair of dirt roads that divide the frame. The terrain rolls gently, with patches of low vegetation in burgundy and rust tones filling the spaces between the trees. Shot from above, the composition reveals the texture of the land and the way the trees cluster and thin out across the hillside. The photograph shows the character of rural Ontario in autumn, where working land meets scattered forest.
