Most of the trees and plants are still quite green, but there are also clear signs of autumn: 

Late autumn pictures from Hittarp and Laröd

The dark season is here, bringing us some quite nice colours and contrasts. The pictures below I shot a couple of days ago here in Hittarp and neighbouring Laröd:

Dark skies over Öresund and Denmark

Yesterday, when I visited Bjärred - a former seaside resort, close to Malmö - dark skies on the Danish side of Öresund dominated the view:

The 524 long Bjärred pier and open-air-bath.

Dark skies over Denmark.

This is the 524 m long Bjärred pier, with an open-air-bath.

It rained in Copenhagen, on the other side of Oresund.

Autumn flowers

This is the dark season here in Scandinavia, but fortunately there are still a number of flowers around brightening up the darkness:

The Marienlyst hotel in Helsingør

I can see Hotel Casino Marienlyst on the Danish side of Öresund from my living room every day (except on very foggy days). A couple of days ago I took the ferry to Helsingør in order to have a closer look:

Hamlet "guards" the entrance to hotel Marienlyst.

 

Hotel Marienlyst is beautifully located on the waterfront.

This wooden path is convenient when guests want to swim in the clean Øresund water.

Immediately to the north of the hotel there are many beautiful private villas.

Late October flower

Colourful flowers, like the one below, are nice to have when the we are approaching the darkest weeks of the year ...

Autumn leaves

Brightly coloured leaves brighten up the often grey autumn days ...
