First glimpse of Autumn #143
Slowly but surely, Autumn is starting to reveal itself. This week, in my surroundings, I noticed that the trees and nature in general started noticeably to change their Summer clothes into ones with more reddish, yellow and orange tones. Oh, and we had our first morning with thick fog.
Every year, around this time, when the temperature starts to be bearable and the mornings are a bit chilly, I remind myself how much I don’t like Summer in the last couple of seasons. However, I will spare you my moaning about scorching temperatures, dry air, humidity and similar. Instead, I will tell you about a fantastic Autumn morning I spent in my local forest.
For a long time, a couple of months, I was waiting for some decent atmosphere so I could get some nature photos. Every evening I glance at my weather apps to see if there is a possibility for some optimal conditions for photography in the morning. I wasn’t that lucky until recently, when we had the most beautiful morning for a long, long time.
It was still dark outside when I woke up. I looked at the window and I saw a clear sky with some clouds here and there, most importantly, on the spot where the sun should rise. I thought to myself that it would be a regular morning, without any atmosphere whatsoever, just like every other in recent days.
Nevertheless, I went out like most mornings, bringing my camera with me. After some time walking in the cold, I notice a thick layer of fog approaching from the hill in the near distance. Could it really be the day I get some luck?
I’ve immediately sped up the pace of my steps, heading toward a few local forests nearby that are on the same trail. After some thirty minutes of walking, I arrived at my first spot, a bit smaller forest with a few gorgeous tree species. There was no fog in that location at this time, but I saw in the distance that everything around was covered with fog, including the second, much bigger forest that is around ten minutes away.
Without thinking, my legs started going toward that spot. After some time walking, I turned around and saw fog in the forest I had just abandoned, but there was no point in turning back. I’ve bitten my tongue and moved forward.
At one point, fortunately, I entered the thick layer of fog, and my excitement began to build. Frantically, I began to shoot everything around. I was in a dreamland.
Moving around, I started to notice that I’m stepping on some fresh fallen yellow leaves. I’ve looked for a composition and found a group of trees interacting with fog in the most precious way, with the yellow leaves in the foreground just adding to the scene. What a sight.
That morning, I’ve got a bunch of great photos. It was such an adventure walking around the trees and enjoying this special Autumn morning.
