Iconic Autumn Maple Tree

A magnificent Japanese maple tree showcases its fiery orange foliage in a serene garden setting during peak autumn. This iconic tree is a celebrated symbol of the fall season.

October in the Portland Japanese Garden, and the maples were at their peak color. I positioned myself low on the mossy slope to emphasize the tree's twisted trunk and fiery leaves.
