Tones of autumn

Temperatures may be dropping, and the days are getting shorter, but autumn in Germany is far from dreary. Trees drenched in golden leaves, lively wine and harvest festivals around the country make this a colorful time of year to be out and about. This row of orchard trees near the town of Meckenheim in North Rhine-Westphalia gives a final burst of color to ring in autumn.
