‘TDB Autumn Landscapes’ – Album by balkan_trek

Autumn is a wonderful season for walking in the Rodopi Mountains, and in particular in the Trigrad Karst region. The weather tends to be stable with lovely clear and fresh sunny days. Its an ideal time for photography with the deciduous trees turning gold and contrasting with the limestone rocks and dark conifers. Its also a time to see the local people busy harvesting their potatoes and gathering mushrooms.
