Hi all!

Today, the summits of the Freiburgese Prealps were white, it's quite cold and grey. I love this atmosphere for its melancholy, for the harsh odors and the longing you feel - but you can't describe. Soon autumn will be back, and with him those melancholic days and the fear of what will come next...

Autumn

You reflect my life
As well as my mirror does.
Jolliness of colours,
And sadness of mist!
The joy of life
Sometimes becomes so bitter.
I cling to your sweetness
As once
I hung about my mother.
The winter soon is bearing down on me.
What will he bring to me?

Would be nice if somebody could tell me if this is English...

Here's the French original:

Automne

Tu reflètes ma vie
Aussi bien que mon miroir.
Gaîté des couleurs,
Et tristesse des brumes!
La joie de vivre
Parfois devient amertume.
Je m’accroche à tes douceurs
Comme jadis
Aux jupons de ma mère.
L’hiver approche à grands pas.
Que m’apportera-t-il ?

Regards
Markus

Markus you are so insightful and appreciative of nature. Also you seem so close to it that you are one with it....and hence you display your oneness through your pictures. Super thought-filled colors of a season some of us are waiting for...until it gets here, then winter...and back to frost and snow..but you achieve pictures in those seasons just as well....Continue on..

Outstanding colours against the perfect background and your notes are very moving indeed.
As to the translation: not perfect, but very good indeed

Hi Markus,
This is really beautiful. I always like these more abstract nature photos and still hope to find them myself. The lighting on the fall colored leaves is wonderful and gave some of them the beautiful rich golden glow. I really love how you framed the photo.

Bonsoir Markus
Cette palette de teintes automnales, sur un fond bleu-vert est un grand plaisir, pour mes yeux.
Un grand bravo pour cette réusite
Amicalement

Hi Markus.
Beautiful picture with a mood of joy for me, as I enjoy winters.
Les couleurs sont très douces, bénéficiant d'une bonne lumière, qui assure un bon contraste avec le fond gris.
Agréable

Thank you for your kind critique of my autumn Teton photo. I haven't time to look at all your postings from when I was away but right now autumn colors certainly catch my eye. I love the light you captured on these leaves. There is wonderful color and sharpness. I like the presentation too.

Hi Markus
Very nice picture. I like the composition and especially the colours.

Atumn melancholy is nice but not if lasts too long. Your picture is both melancholic, but on the other hand is colourful and give sun and hope to the mind.

Thanks for sharing
