It has seemed like autumn never truly arrived here in Tübingen this year. We had unseasonably warm weather for a while in September and October, and now it’s cold and dreary, feeling more like winter than anything else.
But a week or so ago when the sun was out, it finally felt more like a fall day. The leaves were mostly off the trees at that point. But at least as the leaves lay there on the ground, they provided a glimpse of the autumn colors that might have been.
Enjoy.
Stockerkahn on the Neckar, Tübingen, 2014
Great shot! Not at all dreary to my eye and soon to be further undrearified with snow, I hope!
Oooh! What a lovely shot … Superb!
Great photo, will it make the red bubble list for cards?
@Everybody: Thanks – glad you all like the shot so much! That was taken with my cellphone camera and then tweeked a bit in my digital darkroom. Better photos with any camera. 🙂
@Mom, your request is now my next Red Bubble card offering, available at http://www.redbubble.com/people/leemcintyre/works/13028835-stockerkahn-in-autumn?p=greeting-card
I like the boat in the picture and the slices of light on the leaves. Nice.
However, am I the only one who doesn’t know what “Stockerkahn” refers to? Is it the boat?
Thanks, Stan, glad you like the photo. The “Stockerkahn” is the punting boat that they use (for tourists) here in Tübingen. Usually I show it with people in it, with one “driver’ with a pole. This one is a bit different because it is empty, although I did do a photo of empty ones years ago. Here’s a link to some old posts about the Stockerkahn (“punting” boats): http://22tue.clfotonline.com/?s=punting&x=0&y=0
