The end of summer brings a certain amount of sadness, at least for most people.
They remember nostalgically for the past sunny and hot days at the beach, fiery sunsets, holiday mood in the company of cheerful friends and long night walks.
And while we suffer for what has passed, we usually miss one of the most beautiful seasons – autumn.
For a short period of time, nature changes everything beyond recognition, and bright shades of red, ocher, brown and gold blend into one another.
