In the fall I notice the trees more than other times of the year.
The leaves get blown around more now in the early autumn winds, some of them may start to change color soon.
I love to do tree downlighting – we call “moonlighting” this time of year.
The structure of the tree really comes through when you aim the light down through the branches.
When there are leaves on, the shadow of the leaves move and almost shimmer on the ground below.
After the leaves have fallen, the limb structure creates a stronger pattern on the ground, still filtering the light.

We can do this with line voltage or HID mercury vapor or ceramic metal halide or with low voltage LED
