The autumnal equinox took place on September 22, marking the end of summer and the start of fall across the Northern Hemisphere. Autumn is the season of harvests, festivals, migrations, winter preparations, and of course, spectacular foliage.

Collected here are some early images from this year's autumn -- more will come later as the season unfolds.
