Tonight I am very tired. Jet lag and a busy week at work are catching up with me.

Therefore, I will just share some more pictures from the Half Marathon Hike I went on while in Jena, Germany.

There were so many beautiful trees along the way. Here are some beautiful yellow leaves behind one of the signposts. You can see here that I was near Ilmnitz and Drackendorf.

Here is a view looking out over the Saale Valley. Way in the distance you can barely see the tower of the Leuchtenburg Castle on the top of a hill.

There were many colorful leaves along the trail. I had to resist taking too many pictures or I would never have finished the hike before sunset.

Here are some beautiful red leaves. The colors were very vivid. Especially against a background of pine needles.

Would you go hiking down this trail? It was a beautiful day for a hike.
