Scandinavian Autumn - September in Norway


Although September in Norway is not as warm-colored as in Sweden, I can still enjoy the shy beginnings of Autumn. At the end of September I am quietly:

Walking on a thin yellow carpet of leaves;
listening to the rustle of swan feathers;
sitting on the top of the hill;
watching the boats hurrying back home at dusk;
closing my eyes to pretend it is still summer.

Today, the September walk in Scandinavia continues with photos I have taken in Southern Norway.














Taking note of the transformations in Nature as the seasons progress is one of the sides of living an ethical organic life. Getting to know what Nature has in store and peacefully coinciding with her rhythm nourishes respect and soothes our souls. With the seasons changes our mood; our inspiration takes leaps in different directions and we grow. Closer to Nature is closer to our own voice.

See how September looks in Sweden.

  11. I think your photos have the same effect on people....they want to pack their bags and hop on a plane....

    Seriously, you should reconsider...Don't make them look so much like a fairy-tale or you'll be up to your ears in house-guests....

  20. What lovely photos, Sonya! I'm so happy to have autumn here. At first, I was disappointed that summer was over... but then I started seeing the leaves change and felt the air turning crisp and cool, and remembered how great autumn is. *sigh* I hope you're enjoying autumn in Norway! :D
