I love these warm summer evenings in the field. No sounds disturbing the atmosphere, even the shutter click seems to be a bit annoying ;). Wish you a nice Whitsun weekend.
The yellow stuff is blossoming. The ratio wheat to canola is about 1:10. Seems to be a profitable thing.
Today I came across this little chapel. Outlined by a hedge and framed by oak trees, it’s a wonderful place to take a rest and think about stuff like the following quote.
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
– Martin Luther
Springtime. Though this years spring needs some time and warm temperatures and blue skys are still a bit rare at present, nevertheless nature’s awake and the fresh colors are back again. I love this season with all this fresh green of the new leafs and the growing gras.

Stay tonight
We’ll watch the full moon rising
Hold on tight
The sky is breaking

Down the autumn alley
Running like a horse between the trees
The ground beneath my feet
Gives me something to hold on to

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.

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 ;).
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart. ~Hal Borland
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… ;)

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.

Another shot of my “sea monster”. In this one, at least I can imagine a lizard on top of the wood. No editing, the trees shape is exactly as I found it.
Most of us, I suppose, are a little nervous of the sea. No matter what its smiles may be, we doubt its friendship. ~H.M. Tomlinson
Technically I’m amazed what exposure ranges a DSLR nowadays can handle. Emotionally I won’t let go the leafs, what certainly happens soon – but luckily, and even more certain, they’ll come back next year.

Finally, burning leafs are here again.
