In the fall, the lush green of the Ostrich fern fades to a soft gold.  When the sun is low, and filters through the leaves on the trees, it lights up these golden fronds and makes them glow.  This was taken on a warm Indian Summer day in October and is one of my favourite photos.

Chiaroscuro is an art term, originally Italian, which means the interplay of lights against darks.
