Larches in the pine forest

Aerial view of a group of autumn-yellowed larches in a pine forest between Heroldsbach and Hausen, Forchheim, Upper Franconia, Bavaria, taken on November 24, 2004.  

Only the colorful foliage of the larch group hidden in the evergreen pine forest reveals the approaching winter. In late autumn, they shed their needle-like leaves, while the pines keep their coat of needles all year round.
