Has autumn arrived?

Has autumn arrived?
I do like summer, but given the brownery covering this sidewalk, I suspect we can no longer deny that autumn has arrived in Cape Town. Despite the cooler weather, autumn really is a pretty good time of the year here. We don't normally have a great deal of rain, the wind calms down somewhat, and the landscape turns to beautiful shades of brown. Expect to see a few pretty photos over the next two months. :)

Sometimes the most unusual perspectives lead to the most interesting views. Looking at the photo on my over-sized monitor makes me feel like diving though the screen into the bed of leaves. Aren't they pretty? :)

Isn't it interesting that graveyards often have the best views? This is clearly not for the sake of those buried, but I'm guessing more for the sake of their visitors - the people who come here to remember those whom they've lost.

From the colour of the trees, and the vineyards in the distance you can see that it's between autumn and winter in Cape Town. It was rainy on this day, but on clear and sunny days it sure is beautiful to walk among the trees and vineyards of the Cape.

This place must have seen a great amount of sadness in its time but yet manages to be so beautiful. Isn't autumn lovely?
