Title
The Four Seasons of the Year, Overprints, Thematic Issue
Description
Αutumn, the season from September’s equinox to December’s solstice, is when the leaves of deciduous trees begin to turn red, yellow and brown before falling and carpeting the ground below. The beauty of autumnal foliage is a sight to behold especially in the western Troodos Mountains around the medieval tselefos bridge.
Autumn is also the primary harvesting season and before the 16th century “Harvest” was the term used to refer to this time of the year. The terms “Herfst” and “Herbst” are still used in Dutch and German respectively. In many cultures harvest festivals are held and in the United States harvested pumpkins play an important part in the Thanksgiving and Halloween festivities.
It is autumn and the hot sweltering summer months give way to the chill winter on the horizon; the skies turn grey, the first rains fall and animals such as bats and hedgehogs begin their search for a place to hibernate. The swallows and the swifts begin their flight south taking them thousands of miles to Africa and a warmer climate and man begins his preparations for the coming of the winter season.
