Very enjoyable photo.
The leaves look like their from Gingko trees – and they do turn a brilliant yellow like that and have a tendency to drop almost all at the same time.
@dmhlt: Those are definitely gingko leaves. Part of my growing up was in Annapolis and those line many streets in the Naval Academy. That’s a tree that really stinks when the berries(? – are they berries? some kind of fruit) fall.
But pretty trees and lovely use of reflection.
@JohnMcC: Definitely Ginkos, yes. A couple of blocks of great colors. From what I have read, the female trees drop some kind of fruit that smells bad, but the male trees don’t. Based on lack of odor (and lack of any berries/fruit/whatever), I am assuming these are all male.
