*`Autumn Mirror — The Golden Valley`*

*Alt:* `Crown Arts Autumn Collection`

Fog over the lake at sunrise, perfect reflection, maple leaves wet with dew in the foreground. That golden crown watermark in the corner sits perfect too — that's how you should keep branding it for social.

"Autumn Twinkle"
Autumn is all about colors, but after a rainfall you can admire the little twinkling droplets on every tree and plant. Bring them inside to make your interior relaxing and the bond with nature stronger.

The stone arch bridge in Pulaski, New York, is a historic 1870s stone remnant that once carried the Syracuse Northern Railroad (later part of the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg / RW&O system) across the Salmon River.

"Its Finally Autumn"

Laura Jay UlerySep 14, 2026

Father Luna, LauraJay280.com

Father Luna is a fall piece about transition, memory, and the quiet beauty of change. With its warm reds, layered textures, and haunting atmosphere, it captures the feeling of autumn as both a letting go and a becoming.

The Secret World Inside an Autumn Leaf 🍁

A hidden miniature civilization lives within a single autumn maple leaf, where tiny streets, glowing homes, bridges, and towers emerge from the natural veins of the leaf.

This artwork explores the idea that even a fallen autumn leaf can hold an entire unseen world — transforming the beauty of nature into a mysterious miniature civilization.

Part of my ongoing visual storytelling project, THE SECRET WORLDS.

Created using AI technology with artistic ideation, visual direction, and creative development by Rasoul Rostamian Far (RRF).

Autumn is here!
I took this photo in a place of exceptional beauty on Mount Pangaion, in Eastern Macedonia, Greece, in October 2020, where the stream forms waterfalls and small pools that are perfect for a refreshing dip.

"Autumn's Siren" Oil on Canvas

PLISep 16, 2026

This oil painting, Luna is my interpretation of the ancient Chinese story of Chang-e. She dances beneath the moon before taking the elixir of immortality and flying to the Moon Palace, where the Jade Rabbit becomes her companion. For me, this old Mid-Autumn story becomes a world between myth, memory, solitude, and dream.
