Death by sunshine

The leaves are turning fall colors, but not in the way they are supposed to. So many trees suffered through the heat wave. My living Christmas tree met an early death. So sad. :-(

This is in my apartment complex, or that's what I call it anyway. Everyone in this country who lives in a city lives in a high-rise building like this; families own their own units. There are no apartment complexes like in the U.S. where you rent an apartment from the management. You can only rent from an individual who owns an apartment, and you find them through real estate agents. I guess it is more like the condominium concept.
