Matching colours

Post by Herb »

I don't know whether the effect will be quite as pleasing 10 years from now, but the colour of the shingles on our new Roofed Gate and the leaves in fall colour on this Mountain Ash - all combined with the tree's red berries - rather appeal to me.

It is beautiful. And if the new shingles weather to the color of the shingles in the background, the vignette will be equally as lovely.

I agree that it will look lovely with the shingles weathered to a silvery color~
