It’s autumn now in my part of the world.
A season I have a complicated relationship with….
I feel sad because we have to leave the beautiful weather of summer, and it’s usually a wet time of the year with dull days… yet, at the same time you can have marvellous sunsets and colourful forests and plants… Photographers will find interesting subjects just because of that…

So, let’s dig in the 1x wealth of images and present you my personal selection…

To get you in the mood a
Japanese Haiku autumn poem by Matsuo Basho (1644-1694):

Japanese:
色付くや　豆腐に落ちて　薄紅葉
Irozuku ya/ Tofu ni ochite/ Usu-momizi

English:
Changed the red colour,
Fallen on the tofu,
The leaf of the light crimson maple.

Holding the umbrella,
The mother is behind.
The autumn rain.
