It was during the autumn that I was on a Rhine River cruise. The weather was still warm and I only needed a light jacket. Late in the afternoon the sky started to fade to evening and the scenery changed, becoming more pale. Here are some of my pictures from that day.

I recognize all those places. You were right by my ancestoral home. We are off to Europe in a couple of hours and will be going to Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Sicily and Malta for 6 weeks of fun. No tours, just Eurorail passes, can’t wait.
