Fall is my favorite season because everything—from morning walks to late nights in Carnegie— feels more profound to me.
This season’s playlist and visual interpretations reflect some of these small yet visceral moments: the smell of damp leaves, the instant warming from a hot drink, the sound of rain on the roof.
What are your favorite autumn experiences? What do they look and sound like to you?
