It’s that time of year when awesome autumn displays around Otago make people draw breath at the natural beauty of our province.
We recently asked our readers to provide us with some of their own autumnal scenes and they haven’t been shy.
Here is a selection of many beautiful photographs sent to the Otago Daily Times this week.
Thank you all for your contributions.
