Last gasp of autumn

Walking home a couple of weeks ago, I snapped these pictures, not knowing that I was actually capturing the last of autumn. There was just enough green and browns to offset the grey that was to come, and the sky was a lovely clear blue.
If I do move to Seoul next year, this will be the aspect I'll miss - nature decking herself in all her costumes through the year.

Here you can see the last of the grasses in seed, and a verge that is still green, even if a dusty green.

But the mists were rolling in, and the warning of the snow which came two days later was implicit in their presence.

One last look at the hills in their autumn splendor, and we will next see this in grey and white when the snow comes down!

  1. I was in Gwangju last week for a brief family visit, and just missed the fall foliage. So thanks for posting!
