In Padua today there were many great works of art and architecture to see. But the fall colours in the parks and along the Brenta River were stunning. I don’t get to see autumn colours much, I realized, and appreciated them a lot as I walked about. This picture was taken in the middle of the city, an unlikely place for this old rowboat sitting peacefully in the slow, still waters of the Brenta. Yellow leaves were falling upon it in the breeze.
