Fall Colors Emerge After Freezing Fort St. James Nights
Taylor Hansen captured golden autumn foliage below the Mount Dickenson trailhead in Fort St. James after unseasonably cold weather. The region experienced consecutive nights dropping to -2°C and -3°C, which accelerated the color change in surrounding trees and vegetation, creating vivid contrasts against the landscape.
The photograph was taken just above the senior housing and water tower, showcasing the interplay between early-season frost and peak autumn colors. Such dramatic temperature swings in late season often produce the most vibrant seasonal displays in northern regions.
South Bend Birds Create Urban Skyline Drama
Dustin Tam's image, titled "Wings over the City," captures a flock of birds scattering across South Bend's sky, with brick rooftops and a soft gray sky forming the background. The composition combines wildlife movement with urban architecture, creating dynamic visual tension in a single frame.
WVPE is now accepting photo submissions from readers who want to share their own regional scenes and moments. Interested photographers can submit images by emailing photo@WVPE.com, with the hope of featuring their work in future roundups.

Whimsy and Fantasy in Laura Bolke's Gnome Adventure
