Golden Polish Autumn

[winter]

First of all, a very happy birthday to concordantnexus. His musings about Canadian winter got me thinking about Polish autumn, and how gorgeous this one has been. Sunday before All Hallows, I went through the neighbourhood wild park to the other cemetary, and on the way there I took photos. See below for rowans and apple orchards and crows and birches - all of these are at most a 20-minute walk from my apartment.





















































In other news, my heart goes out to arabwel and astarise, for varying reasons. Tomorrow is another day, ladies.

Well, that was almost two weeks ago - right now it's cold and dark and wet, too, though some leaves are hanging on.

That tree's a rowan. Also called jarzębina in Polish :) Makes great vodka...

I can nvere remember that it's rowan.... in Finnish, it's called Pihlaja... never had any Rowan vodka but now I want to try :D (It also makes yummy candy :D)

we've already had snow twice here, but it melted away so it is rather ugly here :(
