Four days of autumn...

[byslantedlight]

It's still all about the sorting out (and the fretting about my car, which is still immobilised on the driveway, hoping mechanic-bloke can come up with something genius...), and tonight I picked up an old video with no label and because it's been a rainy, melancholy Sunday, I thought I'd put it in to see... and it was Northern Exposure! So now I'm all rainy and melancholy and somewhat dreamy and philosophical (no, I'm sure you can tell the difference...) I'm in the autumn days... so here are the last four of them...





Square sunset! What do you think - a perfect 92 degrees? Maybe 93? A perfect dividing line between the light of yesterday and the darkness of the oncoming night, anyway...


And look at how rainy and melancholy today was...


Chris-in-the-morning had this to say, as the drops hit my windowpane...
Rain usually makes me feel mellow: curl up in a corner time, slow down, smell the furniture. Today... it just makes me feel wet.

And on a brighter note:
It's not the thing you fling, it's the fling itself.

I didn't actually fling much today - but I'm keeping the videotape... *g*

Beautiful. How I loved Northern Exposure back in the day and what a serendipitous find! It would be fun to see that again, including the piano flinging episode. I was hearing about Alaskan archaeology this weekend. You would have loved it.

Oh no! What has happened to the car? I must have missed a post somewhere!
Has the car bloke come up with a diagnosis, yet? I hope it's a cheap and easy fix!
What rotten luck!
Very nice photos, though.
I've never seen Northern Exposure. Got lots of unlabelled old tapes lying around.
I should pop one into the old vcr, and see what happens. :)

We had brilliant weather today, and went hiking in the forest, and then for a walk on the foggy beach.
How much more time, before you are heading to the airport?

Nice pics! I never got into Northern Exposure, but if I see it might give it a try. Fingers ever-so-crossed for your car, and I hope the sorting continues to go well!

I adored Northern Exposure but only possess Season 1 - must remedy that!! I recently read a fanfic (not Pros) that was a fusion/crossover with Northern Exposure and it made me feel nostalgic for the show!

Lovely autumn photos - as usual!!

Good luck with the car.

Ooh, autumn is well underway where you are! It isn't here, not really. Most of the leaves are still on, although I came home to a path buried in them - for some reason there's a little well of stillness on our path that the wind blows all the neighbours' leave into. We swept them up and bagged them and the next day the rain began. And went on... and on... and on...

Gorgeous pics. That apple looks almost like a pear, surely? But if it's an apple, you can get all symbolic in your thinking then!

Northern Exposure is yet another of the series I missed through not having... well, it was either a television or if it was on Channel 4, then not having Channel 4. It sounds interesting though. Although since I currently still have DVDs I bought this time last year, and I still haven't watched them, I had better be sensible about this.

Pretty pics!

Three days in, I'm bored of torrential rain now. I don't mind getting wet usually, but soaked to the skin within 30 seconds of leaving the house is a bit much, really. *le sigh*

Rainy, melancholy Sundays, curled on the sofa with a book or tv - doesn't get much better than that, really.
