Autumn is here (for those of us in the northern hemisphere). This year, the full moon and the autumnal equinox happened on the same day, for the first time in 19 years. Evenings now come sooner and the air cools more quickly, leaves are beginning to change, crops are being harvested, harvest festivals are being held, and animals and nomads are on the move to their winter grounds. Collected here are a handful of recent images of early autumn around the northern half of our world.
秋天已經悄然降臨北半球。今年,滿月與秋分正好落在同一天,此種巧合為19年來的首次。現在夜幕降臨得比以前更早,氣溫也開始迅速下降,于是樹葉開始呈現繽紛的色彩,農作物陸續進入收獲季節,豐收的喜慶也你方唱罷我登場,此外,動物和游牧民族正在準備動身前往冬季棲息地。以下呈現給各位的是北半球初秋降臨人間的景象。
