The latest Monochrome Madness challenges us to look up and see what’s on the roof.
In this case it’s fallen leaves that have come off the many trees we have in our fields. As nature takes its course they drift off on the wind and settle wherever fate takes them. Here they’re on the roof of our laverie (basically, its the utility room, but housed in a separate building), which accounts for the slates. The metal sheeting is the roof of a potting shed that was tacked on to the back just after we moved here.
I think this image ticks the ‘strong leading lines’ box.

After a few days of almost constant high winds and driving rain, car parks everywhere were carpeted in newly fallen autumn leaves. Crop out the car tyre and my feet and you’re left with a frame-filling and colourful mosaic.
