October in Frankfurt (Oder) is a study in contrasts—golden leaves carpeting park staircases, migrating birds crossing twilight skies, and the Oder flowing past both wilderness and spires. These nine photos capture the season at its most varied, from sun-drenched forest paths to dramatic cloudscapes over the city, from burnished reeds framing familiar church towers to the stark beauty of a lone dead tree standing sentinel by the water. This is autumn in all its moods: radiant, melancholy, restless, and breathtaking.
