It's that time of year again, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tipping away from the

warmth of the Sun. Days in the north are getting cooler and shorter, leaves are

changing, animals migrating and many harvests are underway. The wet summer in New

England this year should make 2009 a banner year for brightly-colored fall foliage in

the area. Collected here are a group of photographs of recent Autumn scenes around the

northern hemisphere. (32 photos total)





1.A group of Common Cranes gather in dawn light, on a lake in the German state of

Brandenburg, close to Berlin September 26, 2009. From September to November tens of

thousands of Cranes use the rural area close to the German Capital for a stopover

during their migration from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to their wintering quarters

in Spain. The agricultural plains surrounding Berlin are among the biggest crane

roosts in Europe with several tens of thousands birds gathering during the peak of

migration. (REUTERS/Thomas Krumenacker)

2.The foliage was starting to turn near Presque Isle, Maine on Friday, September 25,

2009. Scientists say this will be a banner year for foliage in New England - the wet

weather earlier in the summer along with the last weeks of warm days and cool nights

should result in dramatic color. (Dina Rudick/Globe Staff) #

on Connors Farm in Danvers, Massachusetts. Connors Farm owner Robert Connors had to

ship the pumpkins in from Michigan because of his low yield this year. Heavy summer

rains encouraged black rot (Didymella) and Phytophthora Blight among his crops. (Pat

harvests of corn, sorghum and soybeans. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) #

Vane Farm nature reserve near Loch Leven in Fife, Scotland October 8, 2009. Around

20,000 pink-footed geese stop off at the nature reserve each year, some to 'refuel'

and some stay, as they migrate to the south for the winter from Iceland.
