Changing weather..

On 13th of Nov 2008, I am gonna complete 5th month of stay at Erlangen, Germany...and that too without a job. This is the longest break I have ever taken once i started working since 1994 (when I completed my engineering diploma). Since then I was either working or studying. After my Masters in Jan 2001, I had a period of 'no-job-in-hand' for close to 2 months sometime in Sept 2003. But for most of my life, it was more than 10 hours a day job. Well, what I meant is when I have no 'office' sort of job, I have all the free time to observe things around me - nature, people, life and almost everything..

First take a look at the changing weather..

* July 2008 - Summer has not yet gone:
Lush green and thick trees around my apartment. This is the view of the road (that leads to Nuernberg) from balcony of my apartment. Due to the green trees you hardly see the road (just a glimpse of the crossing/signal on the road).





* End of July 2008- On brighter day:













* Aug 08- A rainy morning:













* Oct 08- Fall is on its way..













* Oct end - Leaves are turning red before getting detached from the tree..
 











* Nov 2008 - Winter is not far..

You would see most of the trees without leaves now. This is the view of the same place (remember the road leading to Nuernberg?) on a foggy morning. 

The apartment behind the tree is almost invisible due to fog.





* Nov 2008 - a few minutes back !!
At 10 am on 7th of Nov 2008, another cloudy day.

See the trees with minimal leaves, and the 'clearly-visible' buildng behind the tree.

** I hope I will have pictures of the same place with some snow around.
