Winding Path Through Golden Ginkgo

A contemplative landscape photograph of a narrow pale-earth footpath making one soft S-curve through a grove of mature golden ginkgo trees at the height of autumn. Dense fallen fan-shaped leaves cover the ground, while straight gray trunks create a quiet vertical rhythm. The path begins near the lower-left corner and disappears into light morning mist in the upper center; one small gap in the canopy admits a warm luminous patch onto the path. No people, structures or signs. Natural restrained gold, muted olive and soft gray palette, crisp foreground leaves and gradual atmospheric depth, believable tree forms, calm fine-art photographic rendering without excessive HDR.
