Down the autumn alley

Running like a horse between the trees
The ground beneath my feet
Gives me something to hold on to
* David Sylvian  - Laughter And Forgetting

Slowly but surely there’s no foliage left to photograph. So time to shoot the fallen. ;) Forecast predicts a sunny but cold weekend. Looking forward to do a walk through the forest. Read more

Autumn dawns have a very special appeal. It needs some luck to catch the small time window where the light is not too strong and washed out by the usual haze but just bright enough to enlighten the scene in a warm manner which, in my region, can only be seen during fall. Read more

In the fields again. Still very nice, nearly spring-like temperatures in this November. This time last year we’ve already had snow. If it would be up to me, this could last the whole winter ;). Read more

The last contribute to my “when the leafs turn” series (Act 1, Act 2). Even if they are really down now, I’m still enjoying them.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus

Another shot from the local autumnal forest. I think I could stand this forever. The flavor, the warm autumn light on my face, the silence, the rustle of the leafs when I walk. Ok, I don’t want to be to mawkish…  ;)

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.  ~Elizabeth Lawrence

This year we are so lucky with the indian summer. Weather is great and as soon as the daily fog lifts, it’s nearly perfect. Today it was 18 degrees. That’s warmer than on some of this years midsummer days. OK, most of the daylight-time I have to spend in my office, but nevertheless, I hope this weather will last a few days longer. Makes me feel very positive and I may save it for the darker days, yet to come.

How beautifully leaves grow old.  How full of light and color are their last days.  ~John Burroughs

As mentioned before, the circle is almost complete.

For man, autumn is a time of harvest, of gathering together. For nature, it is a time of sowing, of scattering abroad. ~Edwin Way Teale
