A Beautiful Fall Day in Berlin
I’m not sure I could ever live in tropical climate because I love the changing of seasons so much. I’m a Canadian girl at heart and will never be able to live anywhere where I can’t watch the miracle of spring’s growth, enjoy long lazy summer days, pull out my favorite fall fashion, and wake up to a white Christmas.
A Beautiful Fall Day in Berlin
As Berlin’s cold wet summer turned into a warm sunny fall, I’ve noticed just how beautiful the city has become. The leaves have changed color, fallen off the trees, and created a carpet of color on the ground below.
A recent move to a new flat in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg placed me even closer to my favorite local park, the Volkspark Friedrichshain. Yesterday, I woke up early and went for a walk in the park to find it bathed in the most glorious light.
I don’t wake up early very often, but this beautiful fall day in Berlin was worth dragging my lazy butt out of bed for …

I couldn’t think of a better way to start my day in Berlin! It’s days like this that make me realize that my move abroad is completely worth it despite some of the difficulties I may encounter sometimes like language barriers (working on that) and missing home (a visit’s coming up soon).
I left my park feeling renewed and more determined to stay in Berlin than ever.

Lovely!
Lovely! I can’t wait to visit Berlin 🙂
@Paul – thank you so much!
@Casie – aside from Berlin being one of the most awesome places on earth, Jessica and I give you two reasons for you to visit. 🙂
It’s autumn here, too (although we still have a while to go before the leaves fall from the trees). I think I’d miss the change in seasons if we didn’t get them here. Autumn is my favourite time of year.

@Julia – think it’s mine too. I find it beautiful and romantic! I even love winter for the same reason. Can’t wait.
Lovely photos! Reminds me why I love fall. 🙂
You really did have beautiful light for this – such a gorgeous park! Thanks so much for such a great tour yesterday – we had so much fun =) Was wonderful to see you again.
Wonderful! I think the yellow color is my favorite fall colors. I love this time of the year. Messy but beautiful.
@Andrea – the walk was like something out of a dream. Berlin’s parks are amazing! Glad you enjoyed the P-berg tour. It was such a fun time hanging out with you guys. 🙂
@Sherry – thanks. It’s a beautiful time of the year and must be enjoyed while it lasts.
Fall reminds me of home as well and is my favorite time of year for hiking. You can take the girl out of Canada, but you can’t take the Canada out of the girl 🙂
@Christy – Thanks!
@Laurel – Very very true about us Canadian girls. 🙂
Lovely photos of autumn! Great colours; it’s been a while since I’ve seen something like that
@jarmo – thanks so much. 🙂
Love the one with the leaves on the bench.
@Stephanie – thanks so much! I like the one with the girl walking … currently my desktop wallpaper! 🙂
Reminds me of my walk throug Bürgerpark Friedrichshain this morning… Lovely!
Lovely pics! I regret not to have more time to make use of the current stunning autumn weather. You must know, that this fall is completely atypical. Normally after reasonably beautiful fall weather in September/October November ist the most dreaded month of the year, being grey, wet and ugly…
So let’s enjoy November 2011 as much as we can! 🙂
@Ingo – thanks so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed your walk as well. 🙂
@multikulinaria – thank you. I’ve been trying to enjoy every moment of this beautiful weather. I wish winter would stay far far away!
Beautiful pics! I live across the road from Volkspark Hasenheide in Neukolln, it’s so nice there too. How good is Berlin autumn? 🙂
Outstanding. Makes me miss Berlin and wish my move could happen earlier.
@Paul – thank you for your kind words. Berlin autumn has been awesome!
@Joe – thanks! Hope you make it to Berlin soon.
lovely! i’ve been feeling the same way on my early morning bike rides through Tiergarten to work. thanks for the post and the pictures, and the timely reminder of the joy of living in Berlin, despite the challenges as an expat (as am I).
@TheResa – thanks for your kind comment! I haven’t been to the Tiergarten yet but am thinking of heading there on Thursday to do some more photos. Looking forward to it!
Glad I could be of help … it can be tough here sometimes but then you have a morning like this and it seems all your worries melt away.
As always, sigh inducingly gorgeous photography. And capturing two of my favorite things- Berlin & Fall.
@Ebe – thank you so much. Two of my fav things as well. 🙂
How pretty! As much as I love the daily blue sky here in Texas with tons of sunlight, I sometimes miss the German fall weather – if even only for a short walk in a leaves-filled park. Gorgeous!
@Sabrina – thank you! It was a gorgeous day and I feel blessed to have experienced it.
