The month of September has a specific look and atmosphere as long summer days slip into shorter, cooler ones.
While it is a busy time for families returning to school and work, it is also a special time to take in the changing light and landscapes.
September sees the greatest change in daylight hours of all the months. On the fall equinox on Sept. 22, every point on Earth experiences 12 hours of daylight and darkness. After that, days become increasingly shorter in the northern hemisphere, according to The Weather Network.

This month gets its name from the Latin word 'septem', which means seven, because it was the seventh month of the early Roman calendar. In Old England, this month was called Harvest Month as it was the time to collect any remaining harvest and start preparing for winter.
The photographs in this collection capture the essence and serenity of September from quiet early evenings to dried grasses and dusky sunlit waters.
