Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONHow best to depict the fickle nature of the weather in this fair city? Three days ago we were in T-shirts and shorts, now we're gearing up for snow in the Victorian Alps. So I thought I'd give you an image that captured it perfectly. This was taken in our garden - in the foreground is a rose, a hardy synbol of summer; while in the background is a plane tree, with the russet hues of late autumn. Not an easy picture to take, because the rose is up against a wall, so I had to manoevure myself fairly awkwardly - but hey, I'm ready to suffer for my art! Incidentally, the plane tree is one of the few that has not shed most of its leaves.
