Oh, what gorgeous photos, thank you for sharing these, Bolanthus/Aris!
The more time I live in the Med, the more I love the mid/late summer season. Especially towards the end of September, when everything becomes very muted in colour, the olives very silver, the shrubs very brown or beige, the cypress and pine very dark green and the soil often that rich burnt orange. I feel like the plants are waiting, holding their breath, expectant of rain. It is so peaceful.
It is one of the things I always like to talk about with our hotel clients, this different rhythm of seasons. So many people say they find this time of year "sad" - I had colleagues who said the same about winter in England - but I find it beautiful to see plants in their natural state: sleeping, resting, gathering energy, waiting for the rain. I think we have a lot to learn from them!
Here are some photos from my garden in late summer (I think some of these were posted already as accompaniment to my TMG article, apologies for the repetition if so):
