This past week, we have been experiencing uncommonly warm and sunny weather for mid October. And so I took the opportunity to drive around and admire the fall colours in the area. Of course, I also took some photos, which you can see below:
Fall foliage and a late blooming rapeseed field near the town of Kirchhatten.
A road lined by trees in full autumn glory near Heiligenrode.
The modernist bell tower of the Catholic St. Ansgar church in the town of Sandkrug
The Nordwestbahn, a regional train, passes by.
Another tree-lined road, this one near the village of Steinkimmen
A red oak tree in the town of Sandkrug
A closer look at the foliage of the red oak tree
Agnes, the maple tree, in full autumn glory. I raised Agnes from a seedling I found in my parents’ driveway 35 years ago. This is what she looks like today.
Because it was warm, I also stopped at an ice cream parlour that was still open and had this tasty peppermint sundae.

Nice! The trees are just starting to turn here in New Jersey – they’re a bit late, I think.
Glad you like the photos. I’m actually glad that the trees have any leaves left, considering that we had an extremely dry summer over here.
