As the sun began setting over the Grand River valley, my husband, dog and I took to the Bob McMullen Linear Trail for a little exercise and to soak up the autumnal glow on October 2nd.

The head of the Linear Trail is located at the end Bishop Street in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Parking can be found in the same parking lot as the Preston Auditorium, and the start of the trail begins to the south side.

Minutes from the hustle bustle of King Street in the Preston area of Cambridge, the trail takes you along the Grand River, which in the setting October sun means warm golden hues from trees as they change colour reflecting on the water.

These pictures were captured on my iPhone 5C and slightly boosted using an app called Snapseed. If you haven’t played around with Snapseed I highly recommend it. It can help bring out some details and make the colours pop, even though the images didn’t need much work tonight as the colours were outstanding.
