*** About Autumn Foliage

***: The phenomenon of autumn foliage involves the changing colors of leaves before they fall off the trees, primarily occurring in deciduous forests. This change is due to the reduction in chlorophyll pigment production as daylight decreases and temperatures cool. Other pigments, like carotenoids and anthocyanins, become more prominent, showing their yellow, orange, and red hues respectively. Locations with moist soils and crisp autumns, like the depicted valley, often display the most vibrant fall colors, attracting visitors and photographers alike to witness and capture this annual transformation.
