colors of the Ardennes

My quest for beating the November greys brought me to the Ardennes last week, where i feared to see autumn at its most ruthless -but that turns out to be quite pretty



and surprisingly, despite cold and mist, there was still lots of green



the most spectacular forms of green coming from the much loved moss, which was everywhere, from hanging on trees



to just hanging



to taking over entire hills



The house we were staying in was mostly about red





which was very warm and comfortable



But what struck me was that i grew to quite like some of the greys over time







Grey can be very impressive



Maybe i'll concentrate next month on December's contrasts and focus on black and white, for maybe the cure for grey is to love it -the lovely part in this picture i think is the grey mist
