    If the colors are manipulated, but not false, is that the same thing? This is not a spectrum based image.

    Well I'd say that's up to you to decide.
    If you were to make a book with the type of images you often post here then it would be your choice what techniques to include in such a book.
    You could concentrate on just one particular method or include several different methods, as the fancy takes you.

    Seems like neighbour got roof cleaned up...
    Good to see that this is practice, not real action. But we shouldn't be surprised, fireplace and Feuerwehr, aren't they supposed to go one after another? :P

    It's this time of year...
    Second image is my pick, this water stream adds nice contrast and accent to foreground.

    Yesterday when I stepped out of door I was greeted with this view. Ca. 25 meters above sea level :D , first snow here, but it won't last.

    Aww, I'm gonna miss your sunset photos...
    This #8 is my pick, very nice framing and colours, excellent!

    I intend to visit this place in future and then maybe shoot with more relaxed framing to fix perspective distortion in post, I think it's worthwhile. And I didn't want to go too much into processing with these colour shots, I think that BW can more suitable for dramatic processing, like below.

    Well, I made these shots on October, 8th, so it was rather start of October. And we had exceptionally warm autumn so some plants survived until this time quite well.

    Roof clean up? Yes definitely, but that roof is completely new, this year.
    Maybe they should have waited with the practice for a few years until it was needing a good clean ;-)
    I also thought my "Fireplace" logo fitted well on these ;-)

    Cool shot!
    In the high res version I can see the very thin spider's thread that has caught this leaf. I'm just assuming here, but I can imagine how that must have looked for you hanging in the air, in front of you, and dancing in the wind; turning around and around on its own axis and making circles like a pendulum. I saw one like that once, and was absolutely fascinated by it. It was somehow quite an uplifting moment.

    Of course - totally get that.

    These two B&W shots are superb by the way - excellent work!

    What a wonderful place. Catching the bilberry bushes red carpet effect, means being in the right place at the right time. The first snow was an added bonus to this lovely set, that makes me quite envious.

    Good to see these old massive industrial complexes repurposed and preserved to some extent. An interesting documentation.

    I always enjoy your posts with the details of your walks. As usual some good stuff, particularly the first one when seen big and the winter trees.

    They love putting up those awful information panels that blight many of our interesting places here in Italy too. The good news is most of them soon fall prey to the elements and quickly fade and rot away.
