« Regard, objet, symbole, la Tour Eiffel est tout ce qu'on met en elle et ce but est infini. » - Roland Barthes
I'm not a big fan of Halloween lights -- Christmas lights, yes, but not Halloween; however, I can't resist this orangish glow of the Eiffel Tower against the night sky.
Take a Hike!

“There is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.” - Henry David Thoreau. Days like today challenge me to grab my camera and explore. Like a signature, every photographer has a unique perspective and tends to favor certain settings, subjects, colors, angles...yet, it's fun to push one's limits and experiment with exposure and focus. Although this photo is not my typical style, I'm so intrigued by the light, especially the magical bokeh in the changing leaves.

"In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening - no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air." - Alexander Smith
