This photograph, copyrighted by Hans Enderl, captures the breathtaking beauty of autumn in the Tennenbacher Valley, located in the Southern Black Forest, Germany. The scene is dominated by a dense canopy of deciduous trees, whose leaves have transformed into brilliant shades of golden yellow and orange, with hints of green still present. A powerful sunburst emanates from the upper center of the frame, casting warm, radiant light through the foliage and creating striking lens flares. The sunlight backlights the leaves, making them glow with an intense, almost ethereal quality. The intricate network of branches is visible against the bright sky, and in the background, darker tree trunks suggest a deeper forest. The overall impression is one of natural splendor, warmth, and tranquility, characteristic of a sunny autumn day in October.
