Today is the first day of Autumn.  Why not stop over at The Bees Are Dead, and mark the encroaching cold with a few dark futuristic visions?

There you’ll find Gary Glauber’s “After the Deluge”, which is a sanguine twist on the usual narrative of the post-apocalyptic poem.  There is also some truly arresting photography — Paul Gerrard’s “Monochromatic Beginnings” is shudder-inducing and delightfully monstrous, and Kathryn Nee’s ““Windows into the End” is a haunting exhibition of abandonment art.

Antonio Vivaldi’s “Autumn,” from “The Four Seasons”

Rolling hills of burning gold.

Northern Virginia bids the day adieu, with a fiery salute.
