Season's fire

I used to hate fall: I felt very anxious and worried each time I'd see the first signs of it. Fall resembled death, and I would never understand why people were trying to find beauty in death. Later I somehow managed to decrypt my fall emotions.

My anxiety should be connected to the series of strange coincidence, I had many important decisions made in fall: I changed schools as a kid, I changed jobs as an adult, all in fall. I don't regret any of those, by the way. Anyway, my perception changed a bit: I am not a fan of this time of the year, but I do see some advantages) And yes, it is beautiful, I admit.

Especially in Prague, which has so many huge old parks. I pass through one of them each time I take train to the office. To be precise, it is a forest, a natural reserve, preserved in the city. And this is my favorite place in this city.

It is called St. Prokop's Valley. If you walk only on the road without climbing the steep slopes, it will take you about an hour. So sometimes I get off the train, walk the valley and then catch the next train home. That's what I did this time, so let ma walk you through these falling leaves - a few more photos below.
