close-up photography of a red hose on the upper deck of a ferry - the floor is painted in a metallic blue. A small puddle of rain water in front of it forms small ripples from the ship's vibrations and wind

along an old, abandoned cobblestone road, between forest and river, drifting with last leaves, listening to Dowland, humming, dreaming, remembering, hoping for the sun to stay a little while -
Picture showing an old cobblestone road in a forest - bright light shining through yellow leaved (is that actually a word?) trees . Much bright, very autumn.

Tegernsee, Bavaria, Oct 2011- Autumn shrouding the mountains in delicate grey, veiling the lake with a layer of mist, an evasive, floating, dreamy time of year, between the frost of early morn and midday's warmth: a gown of silvery silence

Les Tours de Merle - Corrèze, France, #Autumn 2021

A breathtaking arrangement of seven dynastic castles, built over centuries in utter isolation at the end of a narrow valley. Look closely, you might even spot #ghosts haunting the ruins...

picture of a large, now ruined medieval castle, perched on a cliff in the middle of a narrow valley - surrounded by dense forest, gleaming in bright autumnal colours. Some ghosts had been placed in the ruin for an event. Spooky!

drifting along quiet streets, afternoon, late Autumn light reflected on old cobblestone, looking for a café, I found this mural, an homage to the work of Hugo Pratt - Corto Maltese, old school coolness personified.

late October, late afternoon, deep inside the dreary, foggy woods, a bleak day, a silent day, a short day, stalked by the cold-dark night, yet, as the sun slowly sinks into the mist - a faint hint of color, a dash of hope

Quite symbolic, don't you think?

Kitschy gilded applications Kremlin-style is all he'll ever build, an insufferable copy of a cheap copy of a copy, a layer of toxic blink upon orange rot - and for that he'll tear down the country and everything that it stood for
