Harvest

Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, farmers are harvesting the fruits and vegetables they have cultivated over the summer. The brightly-flavored summer crops of cucumbers and tomatoes have passed their peak and we've moved into the deeper flavored pumpkins, winter squashes, pears and apples.

To celebrate the recent Autumnal Equinox, here are some images of harvests occurring around the globe (courtesy of Huffington Post).

  2. It's a reminder that we are all more alike than we are different, isn't it?
