Another lovely thematic photo, Angelika. Do you know the song "Autumn" by the Strawbs? It's one of the most beautiful, haunting songs I know and would seem relevant to your Ode to My Forthcoming Winter series. Here are some excerpts:
I sense autumn coming on
The mist has hung low all day
Small birds gather on the wing
Preparing to make their way
The trees begin to show a trace of brown among the green
Bringing back the memories that only you and I have seen
I sense autumn coming on
The sun sinking red and deep
The fires burning in the fields
As late summer falls asleep
The leaves begin to scatter as the North wind calls their name
Folding gently back into the silent earth from which they came.

I haven't heard this song, Brett.
Thank you for letting me discover such a treasure.
The lyrics are indeed very beautiful. I liked the music too.
Maybe it will inspire me to create something in autumn ambience as it is going to come soon here in Poland.
(Yesterday I had my last photoshoot for saying "adieu" to summer).
Thank you again for sharing it!

My pleasure, Angelika. It's one of my favourites and I must confess that I get a bit choked up every time it reaches the climactic choral finale. Someone constructed a brilliant YouTube video of the song accompanied by images that would do any DA artist very proud! I constructed three of my own YouTube videos last March to combat boredom. They feature some of my best DA work before I actually discovered DA in late April. And yes, we're due for autumn as well here, of course, and I'm hoping to get to the spectacular Spencer Gorge for some shots of the leaves in the valley there.

Lovely picture, Angelika, but my ode to winter would be 'stay away, stay away, stay away'!

Thank you very much!
I wouldn't say it's my favourite season either.
