As soon as summer ends everyone gets nostalgic, days become shorter, the sun starts to lower its temperature with its rays. But one of the best seasons of all waits for us. The hot, sunny days fade away giving space to a cool, breezy air that surrounds us, letting us put long sleeves and jackets on. We can see the landscape changing, the green leaves of the summer months turn slowly into different, beautiful, deep, bright, and warm colors. Wherever we turn, we are captured and surrounded by orange, red, and yellow leaves, an enchanting landscape that leaves us speechless for its perfect beauty. If we walk under numerous colorful trees we are swept up by the charming landscape, by the noise of the large amount of dry leaves on the streets, that it seems as if we are walking onto a colorful path that will take us into a magical world.
Have you ever stopped to think and admire the perfection of nature and its extreme beauty?
The fall season with its fall foliage landscape is just a synonym of how perfect nature can be transformed, slowly and silently, and even if sometimes humans are too busy running around, we must not forget to stop once in a while and appreciate the beauty of nature. Fall Foliage is something incredibly awesome, a beautiful landscape, a magnificent show God and nature give us every year.
Leaves don’t change color everywhere, or all over the world, Fall Foliage can be admired in the USA, especially in New England due to particular trees that grow there. I will list the eight most amazing places to visit between the end of September and the beginning of November. Even if you don’t live in the United States, nowadays, thanks to the Internet you are able to glimpse at the different fall landscapes in different parts of the world from a screen. Of course, it isn’t the same thing as running, walking, or sitting on a bench in Central Park, or just jogging surrounded by the beautiful Fall Foliage in Vermont. If you have a chance, if you want to escape the stressful hectic life in the city just organize a little weekend out of town, take a bus, a train, or a car and visit some of the most beautiful landscapes in the United States. You will remain amazed and speechless.

The best spot to avoid the confusion of the city. The different colored leaves give a magical and surreal sense of beauty. You can choose to walk around, to bike, to run… or just relax and read on a bench or sit on the grass.
