Walk Dreistetten 7.10.2007

This afternoon I am alone, so I start for a walk. I drive to a place behind Muthmannsdorf, shortly before Dreistetten, and walk through grassland, fields and forest.

It is cloudy and not very warm, but some sunny spells nicely highlight the scenery and are giving some surprising light effects. View over Neue Welt to the Wechsel region ...

 ... and to Semmering, with Kienberg in the foreground ...

  ... and to the Fischau mountains, the second of the three summits is Groessenberg.

This autumn has been richly blessed with mushrooms: a parasol

The uppermost houses of Muthmannsdorf, with Schloßberg behind, ruin Emmerberg to the right.

A fairy ring of mushrooms in the forest, ...

 ... not identifiable to me. Is there some help?

Once more the view over Neue Welt ...

 ... and to Hohe Wand, ...

 ... which is very close here with its northeastern end.

The trees are getting ...

 ... autumnal colours yet.

Sheila is relaxing while I take pictures.

One of the beauties of this landscape are the near flat terraces with grass or fields, interrupted by steep forested slopes.

 

Dreistetten

This year once more flourishing autumnal rape ...

 ... this time with Hohe Wand behind..

Droughty grass ...

A wet place with a small spring give rise to some reed on this slope.

Hohe Wand.

Dog roses have already ...

 ... nice fruits

Sheila ...

Nearly back to the car now.
