On Sunday 1st November 2015 myself, wife & daughter went for a walk around Knighton Park.
I checked the time for local sunset and as it was getting pretty close I figured i'd take the Camera along. Truth be told, I only took 5 photos that evening as I was enjoying the walk.
Our local paper the Leicester Mercury had an 'Autumn in Colour' page on their website, with a link asking viewers to submit their photo's. So I thought why not, on the Friday morning I emailed a copy in to them. Thirty minutes later an editor from the paper gave me a call, asking for some more information on it and if it was ok to publish it.. in the paper!!
Of course I agreed.
I don't buy the paper that often, hardly at all in fact as most of the content I like they put online.
On the 12th November I purchased the paper randomly, before then i'd been asking family to keep an eye out for it. To my surprise, it was in that edition, what a bizarre coincidence.
I had many amazing comments about this image, and a friend of mine who is also an excellent photographer suggested I have this printed to canvas. It's now hanging on my bedroom wall so I can see it every day.
