Into Autumn

October 1903, Károly Ferenczy

And now the Sun enters Libra, the cardinal sign of autumn. Again we are at the beginning of a season. The equinox is behind us (September 23) and in the North the days will get shorter as we stumble towards the dark of winter.

Now, this autumn season is the moment when we weigh and measure the fruit from the vines and the orchards. We see what the season of growth brought forth, and we make plans for the coming months.

And these last days of sunshine are some of the most beautiful of the year with long shadows and the golden light. This is the late afternoon of the year.
