This photo captures the cycle of life and death in nature. The bright red leaves in the foreground symbolize life, full of vibrancy and color, while the bare tree in the background represents the end of a cycle, a quiet reminder of change and passing time. As the seasons shift, the once vibrant leaves will fall, leaving behind empty branches, only to be reborn again in the next cycle. This natural transformation mirrors life itself—growth, change, and eventually, an end that leads to a new beginning. The image reminds us to appreciate the beauty of each phase in life, knowing that nothing lasts forever, yet everything comes back in its own time. This photo was taken in Chicago, US.
