Autumn foliage: Your shots

We received a stunning array of autumn foliage photos over the past couple of days, here's what you sent in.

In line with our changing autumnal landscape, we took the opportunity to explain how and why the leaves change colour here.

We also chose our top picks of where to capture autumn foliage around the UK and Ireland, requesting that you send your finds in too.

There were so many more magical shots to feature, so keep an eye out for our usual user images piece later this week where we will showcase more. Keep the pictures coming!
