Farewell to Fall

Officially it’s not over yet, but it feels that way. Fall can be glorious in Denmark, but is sometimes disappointing. There are so many colors, and they hit all at once. If you’re lucky it won’t rain for a while, but it usually does, and the crisp and vivid colors get wet and murky.

But fall is still a special time of year.  There’s something profound about fall. It makes summer seem like a silly, frivolous season. Fall is a return to reality. It’s both more sane and more sentimental than summer, and the transition surprises me every year.
