Autumn leaves

This can go with a Chinese idiom: 一葉知秋. These four characters are literally: One, Leaf, Aware, Autumn; loosely meaning you can tell it's autumn by seeing a leaf, extending to other meanings such as awareness of nature, logics in daily life and mindful observations in life.

So here it is, autumn in HK. This photo was taken at the country park seen in yesterday's photo and is inspired by this photo by Kris and of course, many of Bob's.

Superbe cette feuille d'automne


Oh ! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis.
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié...
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais.
 Jacques prevert

This reminds me of a photo by HK based Don Ellis:

Go to his site and read the commentary on that photo - very funny. Lisi, your photo is excellent too!

Great color and detail. Your previous shots were great as well. I like the one overlooking the crowd.

The detail on this one is amazing. I really love the hippy trippy nature of the leaf on the cold hard pavement. Really cool.
