Autumn in Oslo (Photo: Norwegianblogger September 2006)After a long, warm and sunny summer autumn is finally here. It's getting darker every day. Today it's foggy, humid and grey, and it's nice to be inside, listening to some good music and looking at the trees changing colors. A couple of weeks ago I went on a bike ride in parts of Oslo and I brought my camera (of course J ). In the middle of one of the residential areas of the town I found this motive. I went down on my knees, unpacked my camera and shot the photo. Seeing it made me once more think of the amazing cycle we call the seasons, the ever changing cycle of death and new life. I've seldom seen it more apparent than here, the new branches literally coming out of the death of the old tree. Wow – that's what we see every year isn't it – especially when you have four seasons like here. Usually life is connected to spring, but here it is, in the middle of the autumn; new life finding its way through death and misery. Nature speaks to us I believe. Are we able to read the signs?
