An Autumn Day

Street lights, colder weather, a cup of hot tea or coffee, friends and family - Autumn

It is that time of year again. The days are rapidly becoming shorter and shorter and before you know it, the afternoon has given way to the sunset, again. But this is no reason to be in despair because here at the canal the street lights jump on a little after five o'clock. Combine this, with the masterpiece of art in the sky, brought about by an early sunset and you have this lovely and yet quant ambiance of autumn. The leaves have already fallen and we are well on our way to the festive season. Let us stand still for a moment and enjoy another beautiful day in autumn.

"For man, autumn is a time of harvest, 
of gathering together. 
For nature, it is a time of sowing, 
of scattering abroad."
                                                                                
"Voor de mens is de herfst het seizoen 
van oogsten en vergaren. 
Voor de natuur is de herfst het seizoen 
van zaaien en verspreiden."
