October has put on its most happy and amiable face and treats me with bold, warm colours. Leaves in different stages of foliage, warm afternoon sun, peaceful surroundings – a feast before the nature goes into hibernating during winter.
These were shot during my bike tour today and was taken in the surroundings of a nearby church from the 12th century – one of my favourite places. An oasis. Close to the city and still feeling like being on the country side. A place for the eye and mind.
Last day of September is almost over. October is indisputable an autumnal month. In September one can still fool oneself that it is still summer – if darker and cooler. October brings realism and sobriety and – autumn.
Here are a few photos from my walks and bikerides during the last days of this year’s September. To the right above you see rose hips – growing on a dog rose bush. It brings fruit at the same time as it still blooms – I find that quite optimistic (see, October, there are still some stubborn optimists around).
This was a beautiful morning (apparently) with warmth in the sun. I’ll really try to get as much light as possible now – it diminishes fast and the evenings come way too soon; a little earlier day by day – an autumn and winter before it is spring again.
