Autumn Colours (7)

Autumn is quite different depending on where you live.
Here in New Zealand, most of our native forests are evergreen not deciduous so. although some colours might brown off, the forests stay predominantly green/brown.
Mankind has changed that in some places with exotic trees from other parts of the world. Parts of the upper Sth Island (Te Wai Pounamu) feature extensive 'Europen sty;e' Autumn colours.
Having lived in 5 continents: I've seen Autumn in quite a few iterations: the barren Loess Plateau and Gobi desert of Western China, the sparsely vegetated Namib desert of southern Africa, the colourful Rockies of Canada, the bleak greyness of Britain with pockets of wonder (Lake District) and monotone (the Moors).
So, in that vein: here are some colours shot in Autumn in their respective countries:
