Today I went with the bike like 20 km along the Elbe. This week the weather was incredibly beautiful, warm and sunny, but today topped it all. One wouldn't believe it's November, but spring, if it wouldn't be dark already at 5PM.
Besides the fantastical autumn colors and the majesty of the Nature going through such dramatic changes, I had some very interesting encounters.
He was actually the second tabby cat that crossed my way in a span of 10 minutes, but he wasn't very impressed by my presences. He crossed the tiny alley where I was, and stopped near the fence of a garden to sniff something there. I thought he will run away in the time I would get out my cam, but he only minded his business and then he started to pay attention to me. He was just as curious about me as I was about him.
Incredible shades and incredible textures. Never seen so many "fluffy" plants like this year.
Behind these trees is the Elbe. So many shades of yellow and gold.
Fluffy and silky plants.
Plants can be so beautiful in their decay and death.
Another encounter behind this country & western restaurant/pub, which owners let their horses enjoy the sun and the still green grass on the river bank. This little fellow was among his taller friends. I think he's not more than 60 cm tall or so.
The weird fruits of some shrub. Again, the colors and the shades were incredible.
Autumn, feast for the eyes.
Talking about the Elbe, some other "locals" enjoying the beautiful weather.
