If you want to blow your mind completely, go to Vermont in USA in the fall (Sept / Oct) There is some mineral in the soil that just turns the autumn leaves all colours vivid red, yellow, orange you name it. The whole landscape just lights up. Most of those trees are maples.
Spent a few hours in Vermont once, dropping back a U-Haul we had hired.
But I did spend the fall over the border in Quebec and would have to agree
with you. One of my fondest memories were the changing of the maple trees.
Never have I ever seen hills cover in blood red, later changing to various
shades of red to orange.
