From the rolling hills of the Brecon Beacons to the still waters in the Lake District, these photographs capture autumnal landscapes across Great Britain perfectly. The stunning scenes were photographed by Julian Elliott, originally of Salisbury, who decided to pursue a career in landscape photography because of his love of the outdoors.
