2018 NH Autumn/SH Spring Photo Thread

^ nei

So did you visit London twice this year? Or...

Anyway, the west has a ton of areas with casinos especially in Oregon and Washington and here in BC as well (but they're more common in more populous areas here as opposed to down south where they can be in the middle of nowhere). Is the NE devoid of casinos?

Nice skies today



View of the Esplanade with an incredibly bright reflection it looks almost purely white.

Some wacky clouds out there, I blame the gubbermunt.



"What are you doing? Come play."

In my last album the trees were looking pretty dead outside the city in the river valley. Day after that, on the 17th, the forests in the city looked pretty dead too, but there was certainly a noticeable difference.



Today it's even deader, with some parts looking like November. However, I kinda liked the look and weather. I wouldn't mind a British October-winter.


This vibrant-green shrub in an otherwise winter-looking forest stuck out like a sore thumb.


Foliage has really changed drastically since just two weeks ago. This scene was mostly green back then.


But there are still colors to be found.


And planted trees are doing a lot better than the wild ones. Some of the Umean birch alleys are still peaking for example.


And this could be late September.


Boring trees:


I then went to my favorite forest path.


Hngnnghghgh. So serene.


But maybe you guys prefer the more typical conifer forest look?

Pictures from hiking Mt. Tammany in late September. It was about 70 degrees that day. Sorry, it's a lot of photos. 

Here there are a couple of pictures from the last week


Finally some foliage spotted in Turin too! 


Even if the most of those trees are the ones who started to turn brown in the middle of the summer for some unnamed problem.






Back home trees still look very green up to 1000+ m of altitude. The yellowest tree I managed to spot around my home is this one, and it doesn't seem so healthy either:




Looking up to the mountains some difference starts to be visible, but the phone camera contrast is not good enough to notice it in picture





Some snow on the top of the mountains is visible too 





And it was visible also from Turin! (zooming in, and far far away)






Random pictures:

Female praying mantis on wall



Abusive goats and sheeps pasture. They were not supposed to stay in there, in particular not without the permission of the owner of that piece of land




This is a very fiercely aggressive female cat I met in Turin. I really couldn't figure out why she was that mad at me, at least until some kittens started to run after her. I would have liked to take a picture of the kittens too, but she was really too angry for getting any close or remaining any longer. 




Finally, this is the entrance of an house for very rich people in Susa, just on top of that rock.

Just a 20 h stopover there, sadly no other pics because my credit card didn't work so I couldn't buy a bus ticket to the city

Women there were quite divided, many gorgeous beauties but quite as many very tacky looking sluts.

Beautiful weather today, albeit hazy. Chilly morning in the suburbs, with a signifiant UHI. Lows ranged from 0.9°C in NW suburban Pontoise to 9.1°C in the Latin Quarter.

Sad looking lawn





Is it winter already on the top of this hill?!











Noice!
