| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Beech (Fagus) is a genus of ten species of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. The leaves are entire or sparsely toothed, from 5-15 cm long and 4-10 cm broad. The flowers are small single-sex, wind-pollinated catkins, produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The fruit is a small, sharply 3-angled nut 10-15 mm long, borne in pairs in soft-spined husks 1.5-2.5 cm long, known as cupules. The nuts are edible, though bitter with a high tannin content.
The beech most commonly grown as an ornamental tree is the European Beech (Fagus sylvatica), widely cultivated in North America as well as its native Europe. The European species yields a widely used timber, an easy-to-work utility wood.

Hallo Thomas,
das ist sehr stimmungsvoll und ein sehr schönes Herbstbild, die farbigen Blätter in der Sonne, ein dunkler Hintergrund als prima Kontrast. Lustig, ich hatte heute Nachmittag den gleichen Gedanken und habe ein ähnliches Bild geschossen, ich schicke es Dir mal über einen Workshop, vielleicht interessiert's Dich ja. Viele liebe Grüße und eine guten Wochenstart morgen, bye bye
