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. The 39-year-old photographer, now of Tours, France, says: 'In some cases the images were difficult to get. The weather is very fickle, as anyone who lives in the UK knows.’
