Autumn

An autumn sunset - taken at a seaside while having a cup of coffee with friends

It is autumn now in Australia, the second autumn I spend here. These few weeks are seasons inter change period, from summer to autumn, so it is quite hard to predict the weather. Even the forecast weather couldn’t help much in predicting the weather. It can be raining in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon, sunny in the evening and thunderstorm late night, four seasons in a day. It sounds odd, but it did happened 2 days ago here in Sydney, Australia. This unpredictable weather drives everyone crazy in the sense that people don’t know what to wear. Having known that it will be raining and quite cold, everyone wears scarfs and jackets to uni, but who knows it turned out a sunny perhaps a hot day, and vice versa. Anyway, few weeks later the weather will be more stable and that is the time I like the most.

Out of the 4 seasons, I would say I like autumn the most, or I should say autumn in Sydney. I wouldn’t know how much I love the weather here before I came. I find the weather in autumn suits me the most. Not too hot yet not too cold either. I love wearing a t-shirt with a denim jacket or just a long sleeve shirt during autumn, or even just a t-shirt will do. The sky is so colourful during sunsets in autumn. Enjoying watching the sky while I am walking back from my uni to the train station after a long tiring day. Although the flourish lush flowers and leafs are going to fade away I still find it quite nice in its own way. It is wonderful to see the leafs turning from green to golden colour, from golden colour to red before they fell off, leaving the empty leafless tree trunk a cold lonely depressing winter.
