Color play with glowing red
Experiencing an “Indian Summer” (Indian summer or summer of San Martín) is something unique. In the fall the trees change color and glow in stunning shades of yellow, orange, red and ocher. This special wonder of nature is also called “autumn leaf fall” and offers a particular color in New England and Canada. It begins in August in certain parts of Alaska and in the mountainous areas of Canada and continues through November, spreading through almost every region of the United States. This incomparable play of colors is especially accentuated in the Berkshires, the mountainous region of far western Massachusetts. This magical “natural event” is triggered by an exceptionally mild climate. After the first night of frost, the late summer sun can quickly raise the temperature to a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius during the day.
The term “Indian Summer” seems to have its origin in the ancient culture of the Native Americans. He describes his fondness for flashy colors and for the end of the hunting season before the onset of winter, when warm temperatures cause the animals to come out of their dens for the last time.
