Amidst the kaleidoscope of fall color

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 30 October 2024 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

As I walk down Harrison Avenue, I see trees that cantilever over the street, their branches adorned with vibrant autumn colors. Amidst this display, ghosts hang from the limbs. The faintest blow of a breeze sets them meandering, lingering just out of reach. From high above, the ghosts seem to watch over the quiet street, their presence swaying through the vibrant tapestry of the season. As nighttime approaches, the ghosts vanish without a trace, leaving the air with an eerie stillness. The neighborhood stirs in fear, wondering where they have gone. But by morning, the ghosts are back, dangling from the branches as if they had never left, their silent vigil resuming under the pale, cold light of the morning.

So, on the roads, the ghosts are at work during the day. That's actually a good thing, because the nights are quieter there.

I think Halloween started out as an American holiday, but it's been invading France for many years now, and kids love it. I like your levitating ghosts.

The leaves got scared and turned pale...

Very spooky ghosts against the pretty autumn colors. I wonder what birds and squirrels think of them.

Ghosts are like human workers.
At the end of the day, they leave their jobs and find their living dead families in their haunted houses!!!

Usually trees give flowers and fruits, but these give ghosts. They are very special trees. It's a good and beautiful way to liven up a street.
