Shadows are lengthening. Autumn is coming, but unevenly. Birches are all still green, and cherry trees likewise, except for a very few red leaves. The tips of maples are just starting to turn orange.

Chestnut trees are all yellow and brown and have already lost many leaves. The chestnuts themselves are dropping like bombs in the city, making it almost dangerous to pass underneath, while here in Spånga they are mostly still hanging on.
