After many warm and sunny days (too warm for the time of the year), autumn is arriving. The last few days we had some more rain, lower temperatures and stronger winds. Still not enough rain for the dry months we had until now. Despite the rain, cold and wind, I still think autumn is a beautiful time of the year. i really like the changes in nature with the changing colors of the trees and all the fungi that popup everywhere (although I haven't seen many fungi on my walk today).
This Sunday morning, I decided to go for a short walk in a nearby park. We are expecting visitors later today, so we will probably spend most of the rest of the day indoors. That is why I tried to find some time between the showers for a short walk to get some movement and fresh air.
The puddles on the path show just how much rain we recently had. It's good that I didn't wear my Sunday shoes 😂. I'm often trying to look for reflections since it can make some nice shots. I like this one of reflection of the trees in the puddle, surrounded with some fallen leaves. It really has the autumn vibes.
The park has a lot of small paths, but also one wide avenue. The past is made of crushed shells and has large trees on both sides. It has something noble about it. Like a driveway leading up to a castle, only without the castle. As you can see, most of the trees are still green, but also a lot of leaves have already fallen. I think it won't be long before the color of the leaves will start to change. We already see it on some trees.
This music pavilion stands beside the pond in the park. During summer evenings, concerts are held here. And during the day it is often used by yoga or other gym classes. But in autumn and winter it is abandoned.
Throughout the park there are many ditches. Most of them have simple wooden plank bridges. But there is also this stone bridge. I don't know why they made this bridge made of bricks specifically over here. But it does look nice in the landscape I think..
In tropical forests, you often see lianas and other climbing plants growing around trees. Here in the Netherlands, you see this quite that often. But in this park there are a few trees that are overgrown with climbing plants too. I always find it an interesting sight,
