A Walk in Autumn

[akirlu]

I don't get out of the office enough. My train schedule makes for short days, so I usually skip lunch or eat it at my desk. Today I had a work errand on main campus and decided to bring the camera with me. The light was kinda crappy but it's good to see the fall progressing on main campus. I miss that so. I also collected a pocketful of horse chestnuts, and more photos.

The lighting is just magical, so diffuse.

Around these parts, we call that "cloudy". :) Oh, well, at least it wasn't raining. (Not that I mind rain in the ordinary way, but it isn't that good for photography.)

Whoa, cloudy, what a concept....I know it theoretically exists, same as cold, but I find it hard to believe either exist.

I know exactly what you mean. When I was still at Irvine I was packing for a trip to Sweden around this time of year, and we were having one of those 100 degree heat waves, but I was packing for Sweden in October so I knew intellectually that I needed to pack wool sweaters and heavy boots and socks and such, but it was so hot in the apartment that I almost could not bring myself to do it. My gut could not believe that there was anywhere on Earth that wasn't sweltering hot.

Yes! If I had the great good luck to go to WFC, I'm sure I'd pack my best sleeveless t-shirts and shorts. And I don't own any shoes besides my sandals.
