Fallen leaves

A big storm took down thousands (millions?) of leaves in the nearby forests and parks, dressing the ground in colors.

It’s the middle of the autumn and a big storm washed the colors of most trees down to the ground. Before natural composting breaks down the leaves into “plant food”, we can still enjoy colors as they fade out.

• I gave the shots titles, but I’m not at all good at that, so I’m open to your ideas!
• Help on the names of the trees you can identify is also very welcome! So far I see some chestnuts, oak, and maple, but I have no clue about most..

Green also falls

Orange spots

I shot these photos in these locations by the west of Lausanne:

You can still see the remains of the storm!

Again, help with identifying the trees is very appreciated (you can just highlight and write the names in comments). Thank you very much!
