As Russia is steadily descending into the Grey season, here are a few last glimpses at the Golden Autumn.

Home & Away 
I had to do a double-take on the second one cos I thought it said ‘bitches in the fog’ when I first read it! 🙂 Beautiful paintings – getting greyer here by the day too. 😦
You would 🙂 Soon enough I will be hoping for snow…
Hoping? More like dreading!
But then it will be all white and clean and pretty!
In Moscow??? Really???
For like, the first 5 minutes, yeah!
OMG – Linda said something nice about trees!!!!
…although she called them b*****s first. Hm.
Well, she didnt compliment the trees, she complimented the artwork…
That’s close enough! Red. Letter. Day.
I giveth and then taketh away 😉
Haha you’re the second Russian on my WordPress feed who posted the Golden Autumn picture. You all just can’t get enough, can you?
Whoa, link me to the first! I feel competitive now!
And come on, you’ve lived here awhile now, you KNOW how depressing it’s about to get (esp if the snow comes late). We try to hold on to the warmth in any way we can!
Wow, totally forgot about your request, but (better late than never):

Thank you! Such an interesting blog, too!
I know, I actually met him (briefly) — very intelligent guy!
Gorgeous pictures, makes me want to grab my paintbrush! Rome is not quite at the Golden Autumn stage yet, trees are just starting to go. Can’t wait, it’s my favourite time of year 🙂
It really is pretty…and it’s supposed to be +15C this weekend, so I might actually stop my bitching and moaning about the weather for a couple of days!
Even if it (in wordpress, for example) are determined very good photographs of autumnal landscapes, so I’m always surprised by how much atmospheric such a landscape is, when it is painted. It must surely be the feelings of the artist, which he is into its work on the image, which makes the difference. As good a photo may be, in the end it is always just a click, the picture of a moment.
Absolutely true. Those paintings transcend a single moment and take in the mood of hours, days, and even seasons as a whole.
