Autumn Rest…

The trees in the Petrusse Valley in Luxembourg were nicely dressed in stunning autumn coloured costumes when I visited this beautiful part of this interesting city. Wishing I could take a rest, but walking together with my colleagues I was lagging behind more and more because I stood still every time I saw a great view. So to become clear, what a normally half an hour walk should take took now more than two hours. Enjoying mother nature. Just use your eyes my friends and you will become more and more aware that we all together have to protect this beautiful mother!

Autumn
Autumn (also known as fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition from summer into winter. In the temperate zones, autumn is the season during which most crops are harvested, and deciduous trees lose their leaves. It is also the season where days rapidly get shorter and cooler, the nights rapidly get longer, and of gradually increasing precipitation in some parts of the world. Astronomically, some Western countries consider autumn to begin with the autumnal equinox (around September 23) in the Northern hemisphere, and the vernal equinox (March 21) in the southern hemisphere, ending with the winter solstice (around December 21) in the Northern hemisphere and the summer solstice (June 21) in the Southern hemisphere. Such conventions are by no means universal, however. An exception to these definitions is found in the Irish Calendar which still follows the Celtic cycle, where Autumn is counted as the whole months of August, September and October. In Chinese astronomy, the autumnal equinox marks the middle of autumn, which is deemed to have begun around the time of Liqiu (around August 7). On the other hand, meteorologists count the entire months of March, April and May in the Southern hemisphere, and September, October and November in the Northern hemisphere as autumn. Albeit the days begin to shorten after the summer solstice, it is usually in September (Northern Hemisphere) or March (Southern Hemisphere) when twilight becomes noticeably shorter and the change more abrupt in comparison with the more lingering ones of summer. Autumn is often defined as the start of the school year, since they usually begin in early September or early March. Either definition, as with those of the seasons generally, is somewhat flawed because it assumes that the seasons are all of the same length, and begin and end at the same time throughout the temperate zone of each hemisphere.

Hi Hans,
This is a very beautiful autumn photo with the great colors of the falling leaves. I like your excellent composition with the bench, the garbage can and the tree creating a nice triangle that our eyes can follow to discover the photo. Very well done.
Luc

Nice shot. Beautiful colors.
Glad not to be the one to rake those leaves. Specially since there are still some in the tree.
TFS.

Hallo Hans.
Hier in nederland zal je niet gauw een blauwe bank zien maar hier dus wel en nog wel op een schitterende plaats. Groots van compositie en van kleur.
Erg mooi

Good notice about this season and mother nature.
Well done!

Beautiful compo, nice colours, very interesting frame. Very good photo.

Hi Hans
Loss of the autumn, but perhaps the winter will also be a satisfying topic for the photograph. Your remains of the autumn are very pretty. I would prefer to sit on this bench without the basket beside, therefore I removed it. Apart from that, I think that the composition of the photograph is better without the basket. (translator)

Image in view is dynamic because it represents many aspects e.g. a season, the loneliness, mother nature, mood and another dimension i.e. humour...... an empty bench, falen leaves and a recycle bin.....

Beuatiful composition with fine details and warm colors are taken. Presentation in a dark frame is fabullous.

Thanks for sharing a multi perspective image.

Hi Hans,
This is a beautiful autumn view. The bench under the tree is so inviting. Natural colors and good depth. For more romantic mood, I could remove the basket in the left side. Very well done! Annie

Hi Hans,
This is lovely!! Great composition and the tree and autumn leaves are wonderful. Looks like a great place to have a sit for a while. Well done and TFS :-) Cheers Tina

Hello Hans.

Wonderful colours and compo, Hans !


have a great weekend,

Heel mooi gedaan Hans. Jammer dat ie niet volledig scherp is, maar de compositie maakt dat helemaal goed. Ik vind het echt een topcompo! In de workshop zonder prullenbak is het hele effect weg, ik vind 't origineel juist helemaal af. Goed afgewerkt met een mooi frame.
TFS!

Hi Hans,
I love the layers of color and light in this shot, as well as the placement of the bench.
The leaves are all on the ground in my world; and it's nice to remember them in their glory.
Thanks for the treat,
Karen

Good job Green, i like the view.
Lovely autumn colors.
Good details to catch the garden chair and the basquet.
amay points to you.
Bye and see you.

Hi Hans,

A lovely Autumn photo with wonderful colours and lighting! The empty bench enhances that feeling of loneliness here! Great POV and presentation!

Very well done

Hi Hans,
I like this one, so wonderful autumn-colours and it's so beautiful. At the moment I don't have so much time for shots, so many other things to do. But I have a big archive and I hope to have the time tomorrow to show again one of them, bye

I would want to sit here as well. So peaceful and all those lovely colours. A feast for the eyes. Even the bin looks pretty.

Beautiful shot Hans,

Excellent composition, great colours and lighting, I like those details of the leaves, but I would clone out the rubbish bin... hehehehe, that's just me. Thanks very much my dear friend for sharing... :D

Have a great day ahead

Hele mooie foto, 'zoals het is' Hans.
Heel eerlijk gezegd lees ik niet altijd je lange verhalen, je foto's spreken vaak voorzich :-)

without the little bin this is out of balance..how cunning of you not to clone it out
good tones and a welcome seat which i would find suited me..
the tree gives it assent by outstretched branches
good shot and thanks

Hi Hans.

I see that you have been visiting my little lovely country :) Indeed you have taken a beautiful picture. Autumn is one of the seasons I enjoy most in Luxembourg. This country is known as the green heart of Europe. You can find here lots of forests where you can have a walk. Imagine how it looks like in autumn, when all these trees are just like your picture. Luxembourg seems like a painting.

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Congratulations.
Luci
