a simple cornfield can be a magical garden full of fairies, gnomes, elves and other little folk.
Summer
Sunday the meteorological autumn starts in the northern hemisphere. I made several photos in the past summer month, but the above is my personal "Summer 2019-favourite". It's far from perfect, but it speaks loudest to me.
Bye Bye summer . Perfect photo and mood .
Thank you Andrzej ! So true, summer is gone...
It's such a beautiful photo that I can only find in some magazine or decent photo book.
So people in the northern think that the autumn starts from 1st of Sept.? In northern-east part of Asia - China and Korea - we used to use lunar calendar. Lunar calendar is perfect for fishing but almost of no use for agriculture. Old people divided 365 days into 24 sections and named starting date of each section(solar term), so they used both lunar calendar and solar calendar as well. Anyhow according to solar term, autumn begins from August 8th but they say the summer fades away at August 23rd...very confusing. Half a month can only be explained as an Indian summer... Just like Europe it still is summer even in the middle of September now. I guess it could be the results of global warming...It's still warm as summer now. It will be October tomorrow. 
Thank you Ho! I really like this photo, it has, what I call, soul. But I was a little angry with myself, that I decided to put my 50mm lens on the cam that day.. I don't use it very often and thought it's time again. But for this scene I wish I had used a zoom lens. The field in the background needs more sharpness. It's ok for a small seize, but for a poster print it's too poor. I couldn't get closer to the scene, because I was member of a group who was listening to a scientific lecture. It would have been very impolite to leave the group for making a photo... Hehe, now I wish I did so...
Oh and I'm sure the reason for the weather changes worldwide are the climatic changes, and I'm really worried about it. We have many forests in this region and they have suffered a lot from the drought we had the last 2 years. Many trees had to be felled. Very sad fact.
AMAZING
Great mood, like it!
Thank you so much, Olga!
I love this image! It speaks to us in so many ways!
Thank you, Buster. Yes, it's really my summer-favorite.

It's great, Heike! Very atmospheric and conveying some kind of nostalgia. Perfect photo to bid farewell to summer
Thank you, Piotr. Yes it's a kind of soul in it. I really like it and I also felt a bit nostalgic, when I saw it on my PC. Nice weekend for you!
Thank you, and have a nice weekend, too
Poster photo Great shot and mood, Heike !
That's what I thought, when I saw her. Unfortunately I had the wrong lens on my cam... The quality is not good enough for a large poster. Thank you, Björn!
Love it! Very Victorian.
Thank you, Abigail! Yes it has something Victorian - apart from the basecap .
I find it very good
Thanks Peter. I love the motive - but the quality could be better. Wrong lens and too far away... But I couldn't get closer, because I was part of a group who listened to a lecture. I didn't want to be impolite and just go away....
