A striking, low-angle photograph capturing a residential hillside in Astoria, Oregon, dominated by a thick layer of bright orange and red autumn leaves covering the ground and a series of dark wooden steps. The scene is framed by a large, mature tree with sparse, warm-toned foliage and the side of a bright yellow house on the left. A white house with a dark roof is visible further up the steep, forested slope, vividly contrasting the colorful fall ground cover with the muted light of an overcast Pacific Northwest day.
