Mt. Auburn Fall. Leitz Summitar 50mm

The last few days have been unseasonably warm, the sort of weather we expect in late September to mid-October.  Yet, here we are right at the end of October.  Global Warming at work?  I took advantage of the lovely day to go down to a favorite haunt: the Mt. Auburn Cemetery, timing my visit for the Golden Hour.
The Main is my favorite as the pencil beams of sunlight backlit the turning leaves over a pond.  The incomparable way in which the old Summitar lens renders light did the rest.  
And a couple of Extras:  a general scene, and an unusual tomb littered with a carpet of fallen leaves, a Stairway to Heaven perhaps?  Mono was the better choice for this image, and it offers an opportunity to show how the lens renders very subtle gray-scale tonality, black-and-white film being the medium for which it was designed in the '50s.
