some photos of what october looks like from here.

i’m currently in the midst of my semi-annual mountain goats binge. a couple times a year, i am unable to listen to anything else for a week. on heavy rotation this time around: up the wolves. man, that tune always gets me. it’s brilliant.
. . . . .
today is also National Apple Day in england (??) so i think an apple crisp is in my future.
(incidentally, those of you outside of the UK would not believe the amusing names for apple varieties in this country. for example: peasgood’s nonsuch, keswick codlin, golden pippin, blenheim orange, suntan, d’arcy spice, howgate wonder, ashmead’s kernel, cornish gilliflower, alfred jolibois, ribston, beeley pippins. the list goes on. the english are very serious about their apples.)
see you tomorrow.
My favourite apple name in Danish is ‘Ingrid Marie’, sweet and simple!
Beautiful set, Brian.
paul rothe & son store is the perfect frontage.
Loving the first image with the shoes and the imprint. The Paul Rothe & Son store is cool, too.
Can I just… hang out inside your pictures? They all look so cozy.
october’s looking mighty fine. you know, living in durham for awhile, you’d think that i would have seen the mountain goats live once. but i didn’t. i did, however, deliver a CSA share to his door.
Mountain Goats — YES. The entirety of “The Sunset Tree” is so damn good. One of the few I listen to from start to finish every time; one of my desert island albums.
October looks pretty fantastic from your perspective, great shots! We are getting such a kick out of those apple names! So great, thanks for sharing, Brian!
i go on those binges too. but for the rest of the year i barely think about them. love your october, brian! and the sound of those apples.
I get a mountain goats binge about 5 times a day…John Darnielle is teh best.
Also, I highly recommend John’s and Franklin Bruno’s project “The Extra Lens” , the album is just out…It sounds like the MG, but I like it better than the last “proper” MG album. So good. Do listen :)
your october is looking beautiful. i love the reflection in the pane of glass. an apple crisp sounds perfect!
wonderful set :)
such a great song, thank you.
happy apple day :)
I love that Paul Rothe and Son. Want it want it.
Also, I would like to consume everything in the latter half of those photos. All of that plus a bushel of beeley pippins stat, Ferry.
How do you do it? Seriously??? They’re amazing!
Beautiful, beautiful. You are so very talented.
wow, that song is great.
The wicker chair under the window just made me sigh. (So did the dogs — three! dogs! heaven :)
I really like the picture with the beer mug (??) with the pink drink, it looks like it radiates.
Those apple names are very cute and serious at the same time. I just looked up some apple names and saw that there are more than several 1000 varieties of apples. My favorite names in Dutch are Golden Delicious, Kanzi, Junami and Goudreinet :-)
Please keep posting more of these on Flickr!
haha! and brilliant photos!
magic pint!
Aw the apple names make me miss england, as well as your lovely photos. I live in New Zealand now, and am feeling a wee bit homesick now my favourite season has reached england! I love autumn light.
those pictures are nice, I like the cheese and proscuito platter :)
wow i’m a fan you are an amanzing photographer!
We are indeed very serious about them! Just been reading Nigel Slater’s Tender II for inspiration.
Love the photo of the three dogs.
Paul rothe & son looks amazing. Very nice photos, congratz.
LOVE “Take Courage”! Thanks for finding this amazing facade.
Haha I love the apple names. And I love your photos. I will be sharing some on my blog today with a link back to your blog. Please let me know if this is NOT ok and I will take it down. Thanks!
oh hi plants!
also, you’ve captured my favourite roof terrace in the whole of london, one that i’ve wished was mine for years!
You gotta love the Brits for “taking their apples seriously.” I love apples more than any fruit; wish I could be in England this time of year.
Love your blog, by the way. The pictures of gorgeous.
Candice
these pictures are outstanding!
happy day!
If you don’t mind me asking, what are the shoes?
would love to add that bike at Paul Rothe & Son on my collection :)
great series
Love this Brian!
