Magnificent photography. Fall is the only thing I miss from the Northeast. And the choice of location helps. Old and stately cemeteries can be a great place to take a walk and just enjoy the serenity.

Where you living now?  Didn't you just move recently?

Nice shots. I love fall foliage but I find myself drawn more to the architecture here.

Don't let those flying cockroaches scare you!

Out of all the options, why Florida?

Mom spends a good deal of the year there. I lost my dad last March and I need to be a closer to family.

Gorgeous photos, Mathjak.  The season is peaking right now in the NYC area.

Ad:  good luck with your move and congrats on your decision.  Being near family can be a mixed blessing though.  I'm glad I went that route, but it did put me in the difficult position of being the most relied on and least appreciated sibling.  The ones who live farther away benefit from the "absence makes the heart grow fonder" effect.
