About the picture
For a few weeks in autumn the low shrubs of the northern fells turn red, orange and gold and the mountain birches go yellow — the season Finns call ruska. From the air the colours lie like carpets across the slopes, a silvery river winds through the valley past pale sandbanks, and dark spruces gather in patches.
Computer-generated scene; it does not show a specific real place.
How to approach this jigsaw
Start with the frame: switch on Edges and only border pieces stay on the table. After the frame, build the parts with strong shapes and colour: the river, the red and gold patches.
Leave for the end: the autumn scrub, the dense forest. Pieces from these areas look alike, so match them by the shape of their tabs and blanks rather than by colour.
