Foggy Fall Days around Frankfurt
This weekend has been rather astonishing in regards to fall beauty, increased traffic from Frankfurt heading towards our mountains and a pervasive fogginess covering everything from local tree tops to skyscrapers downtown Frankfurt.
The weather forecast had promised a dry and sunny weekend – well, we were clouded in fog both Saturday and Sunday.

Frankfurt commerce fogged over – what looks like a dirty fingerprint on the top picture is a swarm of migrating birds
Nature around the area of Schlossborn up the mountains was at its best

These days are especially beautiful with abundant chestnuts to eat, foggy mornings (I don’t have to drive), orange pumpkins on display, candles lit, and watching chimney smoke rising.
This makes me think of Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963), a poet known for his realistic depictions of rural life. I especially like his poem The Road not Taken.
For some, spring season seems to exemplify new life. For me, it is fall – for all the above reasons.

very nice blog, but it hasn’t been foogy at Frankfurt at all. As we wanted to listen to a concert with Julia Fischer (unfortunately she went ill) we left the foggy Kronberg at 10.00 o clock in the morning. There was no fog at Frankfurt and we could listen to the concert as the 1. Geiger of the Museumsorchester appeared for Julia Fischer. A very interesting and nice concert we attended to.
Me too, I like the autumm very much. I love the different colurs of the trees, the foggy mornings, the falling leaves and the beginning good nature (how do you say “Gemütlichkeit”
Candle light in the evenings, a cosy home and one or two glasses of wine and all is well.
