The yellow-gold color in this image is from larches that have turned color in the autumn. The problem with this image is that since it was taken from our back porch and is of a hillside to our south, it is 3-4 miles away. Although the color contrast between the yellow of the larches and the dark green of the firs and pines is clear, at the distance that is involved, it is hard to make out the larches clearly. Certainly, not much information can be gleaned about larches at this distance, except that they change color.
This isn’t much because many people wouldn’t be able to identify a larch in the summer when it was dark green like the other conifers. Yet, it isn’t at all difficult to identify a larch tree.
