This summer my nearest Tube station was closed for renovations (this disaster will last for a little over two years), so my daily route has changed, and now I can't afford a morning stroll through the park with my camera on the way to the office. I've already said goodbye to summer, and winter is approaching, but... I can't fully enjoy autumn because asphalt, steel, and concrete don't convey the changing seasons very well. Dead leaves and rain puddles on the pavement—that's all they can do in this field. (Oh, and the leaden color of the sky, of course.) So I took advantage of a sunny day to check out the park and confirm that autumn around me is truly in full swing. May autumn not pass me by unnoticed! After all, it's my favorite time of year... So, a little bit of #nature etudes and #streetphoto, and a lot of autumn colours. Enjoy!
Этим летом была закрыта на реконструкцию ближайшая ко мне станция метро (напасть продлится 2 года с лишним!) - таким образом мой ежедневный маршрут изменился, я не могу теперь позволить себе утреннюю прогулку с камерой по парку на пути в офис. С летом я уже попрощался, а зима приближается, но насладиться осенью в полной мере не получается - асфальт, сталь и бетон не сильно хорошо передают смену времен года. Мёртвые листья и дождевые лужи на асфальте - вот и все, на что они способны в этом плане. (Да, и еще свинцовый цвет неба...) Вот поэтому я отодвинул работу и воспользовался солнечным днем, чтобы заглянуть в парк и убедиться - да, осень вокруг меня действительно в разгаре. Пусть осень не пройдет мимо незамеченной! Ведь это мое любимое время года...

The beds are still flourish with autumn flowers. A flood of colours!
A moveable dog's club.
You may think I was shooting the bridge here but no,- its reflections that captured my eyes. With all this colourful foliage, reflections never look so attractive and picturesque and mesmerizing as in indian summer / early autumn.
...and I took a picture of the cabbage. Simply could not resist the temptation! Ofc it is not a common cabbage - but a decorative one. Found it among other flowers at the garden bed.
Found some fungi too.
I'm sure there were more in the park, but I wasnt focused on fungi hunting this time, even tho I was borrowing macro lens with me.
A lot of folks around sitting on the benches and simply on a grass, doing their business, eating lunch or having coffee with autumn morning taste added...
And of course boats. By the way - it was the last day of the boating season opened. Tomorrow you will see not a single boat in these ponds... I used a perfect timing to make these captures, lucky me!
...To sail with ducks....
Waiting at the boats station (while his master haves some boating fun).
Licking ice-cream at the street soon will be out of the options...
