Autumnal colours on the canal

When I took this picture, it kind of leapt out at me. I was going along one towpath, while the lady and her dog were going along the other side in the same direction. Subsequent pictures were less good. Otherwise I was trying to put stories and poems in some kind of order for a potential book. I think there was a bit of randomness to it, though you always like to think that you are doing something terribly clever.
