They look like they could be oak leaves, which are full of tannins. That would stain the concrete and eventually be weathered away.

Subject: Re: GESO: Autumn Memories

Thanks Marnie. I've never seen this kind of impression anywhere other than the location where I shot these pics. At least I finally got around to shooting them:-). BTW, I used the venerable Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 at f4.

Do you know what sort of tree it is?  It looks as if there is some residual 
resin being leached out and leaving the impression.

Last year, I noticed a  strange phenomenon on my morning runs. It

leave an image that lasted for months after the leaves had blown away.
On adjacent  surfaces, no images were created. And it seemed that only
one type of  leaf created these impressions. I was amazed to see that
they endured for months, through rain, snow, salting and plowing. This
year the  process was repeated, and I decided to photograph some of
these  "autumn  memories."

Way cool. I like the two leaves the best (one up, one down). Easier to see
what they  are. Interesting. Never noticed that anywhere around here.
