The End of Autumn．秋天的盡頭

EOS 600D, 1/100, f/5, 52mm, ISO100

Autumn is always beautiful.

She makes you realize the invincible glamour of nature that you once ignored.

She is such a wonderful storyteller that makes you believe the generation of lives, the real one.

秋天就像一個很會說故事的＿ ＿。

然而她說的並不是童話，是現實。

她總是利用大自然的絢麗來解釋生命的殘酷。

Think about how the life of a leaf ends.

It simply returns to the soil as nutrition 

after absorbing the largest amount of light for the tree during its lifetime.

Such a sacrificial and romantic story coming from an ordinary biology textbook.

What if this conscientious leaf ends up falling onto the road instead of soil?

Is this common scene simply a 'misfortune'?

It turns out that our generation of lives, or nature itself,

is not as idealistic as we once believed.

Or is it nothing more than the brutal 'prey-and-preditor' theories?   

就像曾經熣燦一時的落葉一樣。

在屬於自己的時代裡盡力吸收陽光，然後在完成使命後回歸到土地作為其他生物 的養份。

這樣浪漫的循環，是書本上來的知識。

那麼，樹葉本身的自我價值又是甚麼？

假如最後落得的下場不是「光榮」回到 泥土的懷抱；而是被吹到嚴寒馬路上呢？

就只能被稱為 「不幸」嗎？

終究循環不息的生命裡，掩蓋不住的是骨子裡的殘酷吧？

Early November, beginning of autumn.
The sky was pale with reddish hue that came from the withering leaves.
Kinds of empathic feeling regardless of the solitude it brought.

這是11月頭還是秋天剛來的時後。
晴澄的天空下，大樹上的枯葉雖然零落但仍帶 著色彩。
淒美卻帶著獨有的幸福感，
就好像時間的盡頭還是存有希望的感覺。

The fleeting autumn is coming to an end in just a few weeks time.

Glancing at the same tree with its leaves all gone
doesn't give a same feeling at all. 

The more tenacious it seems,

the lonelier it looks.

How about our lives?

同樣的大樹、同樣的天氣；

寥寥無幾的斑斕都捨它而去時，

再強韌的形態也顯得格外冷清。

踏進名為「生命」的大門後，

人是否也將會失去焦點？

Nevertheless, no matter how 'cruel' the life is, we always have a glimpse of hope deep inside our hearts and this is what a 'real life' is.

After all, life is beautiful because none of us can see it thoroughly.

然而，在已知是殘酷的道路上，
我們總能誠心地期盼著「希望」的來臨。

畢竟，生命的美麗終究在於它如幻似真的蒙瀧感。
