PHOTO-A-DAY CHALLENGE
The Golden Month
Week 64 of the photographic documentary of my daily life
They call it “golden October” for a reason. There’s gold all around us. Living in a region named “forest”, orange, yellow, and red are not only taking over the scenic image but dominate the scenery.
Temperatures have gone down but in between a heavy storm and some stubborn morning fog, we got lots of sunshine this week.
Starting off my week with the famous roses on our terrace. I’ve captured them since early spring this year. Every month they’ve been blooming. And today I got them in the sunrise light.

The city of Miltenberg has lots of trees along the shoreline but also throughout the old city. Alleys of trees are decorating the roads leading through town. This is the end of a bridge leading across the river Main.

There isn’t much fun about going skydiving in these freezing temperatures and I don’t understand why people would decide to go on a tandem jump at this time of the year. But the view above the “Odenwald” is surely worth the cold. The forest just looks so beautiful at this time of the year.

This is me taking a selfie mid-air. Because I’ve heard you guys like these different kinds of photographs.
By the way, this is the view from my office…

Today we went for a visit to the game park not far from us. It was about a mile’s walk and we got to see lots of deer which are right now in their breeding season. But almost more impressive than seeing all the wildlife was the view of the forest. Despite the late hour of the day and the shadow on the hill, you could still see the colors of the trees shining bright.
I’m just in love with the season it seems…


It was all misty in town when I drove my husband to school (he’s in the process of converting his driver’s license, so currently not actually holding one). The sky was overcast and low-hanging fog covered the ground. But when I got back to our flat I got a glimpse of sunlight.

This was a day of hanging around at home of doing nothing even though I must say a lot has changed in the last 24 hours. If all goes according to plan I’ll get a change of scenery rather sooner than later.
So, here I am, enjoying this view as long as I can. Love these two tiny trees shining so bright in happy colors standing right next to each other.


This has been my week in photographs. 7 days. 7 photographs. Anyone can join. Once. Or weekly. It doesn’t matter. We welcome everyone! Dennett was the one starting this photography challenge sometime last year and many have participated ever since.
