Autumn is a beautiful time of year, with colors often beyond our imagination, but it is also a moment in our lives that makes us realize that there is such a thing as transience.

The beautiful colors and falling leaves coincide with All Saints' Day, making us even more aware that we are only here for a moment and nothing lasts forever.

But autumn is also a time of hope, because subconsciously we avoid winter and await the next spring, which also does not spare us visual and olfactory impressions.

The photos were taken in my beloved Silesian Park, which I visit daily and which offers me a taste of freedom. I can't imagine life in the concrete city without it.

This place of rest, reflection, joy and long walks means I come home refreshed, relaxed and ready for challenges and adventures.

As I write this, it's not quite as rosy, but there are places where nature resists and refuses to surrender to the inexorably approaching winter. But I'll post photos from such places next time.
