Turning birch, and distilleries at full run
White truffles, Barolo, and autumn fog
The Wiesn, a hill monastery, and Franconia
Sugar maple turning red, on an old railway line
Momiji in temple gardens, deer in Nara
An Edo town, a car-free valley, a black castle
Grapes still trodden by foot, in September
Thermal baths, cellar rows, and noble rot
Turning beech above dark fir, and a spa town
The harvest, new oil, and empty hills
Empty ancient sites, and a warm October sea
Châteaux without the coaches, and game on the menu
Gold larch under limestone, and a green river
Empty plains, walled hill towns, cheap good wine
