America 29: Fall

The autumn leaves are, without question, one of the most beautiful things in nature. When you come from a land of evergreens, it is magical to see red and gold in every direction, walk on the carpet of leaves and breathe in that earthen scent. Coming to the end of a journey feels like its own kind of autumn, like a book as you feel the remaining pages thinning in your hand. Though you wish it could go on, you know deep down that it can't. All stories have their ending, and going beyond it wouldn't make it a better story, just a longer one. Better to savour those last moments, the bittersweet beauty of autumn leaves.
