Die zweite Auflage der Serie von 2006, ebenfalls in vier Variationen (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) mit ebenfalls jeweils einem eigenen Icon. Lediglich die Matallversionen haben sich erhöht (Gold, Silver, BlackNickel), dafür ist die Auflage gesunken: von 500 Stück je Icon auf 350 Stück je Icon (außer Winter).

Autumn (also known as Fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter, usually in late March (southern hemisphere) or late September (northern hemisphere) when the arrival of night becomes noticeably earlier.

In theory, astronomically, the equinoxes ought to be the middle of the respective seasons, but temperature lag (caused by the thermal latency of the ground and sea) means that seasons appear later than dates calculated from a purely astronomical perspective. The actual lag varies with region, so some cultures regard the autumnal equinox as "mid-autumn" whilst others treat it as the start of autumn (as shown in the above table). Autumn starts on or around 15 September and ends on about 20 December in solar term.
In Ireland, the autumn months according to the national meteorological service, Met Éireann, are September, October and November. However, according to the Irish Calendar which is based on ancient Celtic traditions, autumn counts throughout the months of August, September, and October. In the Southern Hemisphere, autumn begins around 21 March and ends around 21 June. In Australia Autumn officially begins on 1st March and ends 31st May. The vast diversity of the ecological zones of the Australian continent renders the rigid European seasonal calendar an imposed cultural concept rather than relevant to climactic conditions. The seasonal cycles as named and described by the various indigenous Aboriginal peoples of Australia differ substantially from one another according to their local geographical and ecological environment and are intricately dependent on local environmental events and resources.


In autumn when the trees are brown
The little leaves come tumbling down
They do not make the slightest sound
But lie so quietly on the ground
Until the wind comes puffing by
And blows them off towards the sky.
