A Gorgeous Time-Lapse of Fall in New York’s Central Park
Jamie Scott spent six months photographing fifteen color-saturated landscapes to make this video, carefully retracing his steps two days a week. His meticulous efforts paid off; the video captures New York’s characteristic palette as trees slowly shed their leaves and colors fade.

Collected here is a second group of images of this year’s autumn from around the northern hemisphere. Be sure to see Part I as well.

Collected here are some early images from this year’s autumn — more will come later as the season unfolds.
