Golden Brown

 See It On A Postcard's Thursday Postcard Hunt is in autumnal mood and looking for brown

The golden brown of bracken in the Langdale Valley when the green of summer has disappeared. 

The Lost Spells (Artist - Jackie Morris)
A night flying Lime Hawk Moth, their caterpillar feed on on the leaves of lime, silver birch and elm but the adults don't feed at all. On the wing from May to July but only on warm nights. By now the caterpillar will be cocooned and overwintering.

 Over 26 million bricks created the largest brick bridge in the world. The Göltzshtal Bridge, built between 1846-1851,  spans the deep valley of Göltzsch, and is 78m (255 ft) high and 574m long, part of the Leipzig to Nuremberg line in Germany.

The artistic postcard is very nice. Nature always offers fanciful shapes.

I love the moth close-up. And the top is so autumnal. As well as liking the bridge! I never thought of bridges for the theme. I have one of a German aqueduct, Elstertaal that would have worked. Not as spectacular as yours.

The grand scale of those arches are like huge mullioned windows. And all the shades of brown in the tree rings!
