Got Fall?

While uploading some of my holiday photos to the (no longer quite so irritating but still damn slow) Flickr this morning, I was reminded of the striking contrast between autumn in Cambridge and autumn in Mont Tremblant, just north of Montreal. Here are two photos of the same ilk, for comparison; I don't need to say which is which.


Despite this, as I have said before, Cambridge does look very pretty in the autumn and I have always found walking through autumn leaves to be very satisfying, along with various other seasonal activities. 

This is possibly because I am an autumn child and had my birthday and both of my parents' birthdays to look forward to as well as Bonfire Night and Halloween (not that I was ever allowed to do anything fun for Halloween, such as trick or treating; instead we had to stay inside and watch the local youths egg our house). Fireworks, long, brisk walks, the central heating going on...what's not to like about autumn?

Here is a further selection of my recent photographic efforts, mostly from New York (top: The Empire State Building and Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn Bridge; The Moody Met; bottom: Flags at the Rockefeller; MoMA; St Patrick's Cathedral by Night)
