Jess Moulten snapped this stunning scene in Highlands Drive, East Bowral.
The golden tree-lined corridor looks like a scene from a fairytale.
Although always impressive, autumn leaf colors vary from year to year, and seem to be more intense in some regions.
The right weather during autumn can promote more intense color production. The reds (anthocyanins), which require sunlight for production, are enhanced by cold and sunny days.
Rainy and windy weather during autumn can knock leaves down prematurely, resulting in a shorter color display at its peak. The lack of chlorophyll allows the yellow (xanthophylls) and orange (carotenoids) pigments to be visible.
