Across the north, people are beginning to feel a crisp chill in the evening air, leaves are reaching peak color, apples and pumpkins are being gathered, and animals are on the move. Collected here are some early images from this year's autumn -- more will come later as the season unfolds.

Two officers are in custody. After a video of the incident posted online on Friday went viral, it sparked public outrage over the brutal tactics used by the officers, amid the belief that authorities are passing the buck by blaming contract employees. Of the eight officers involved in Friday's incident, six temporary employees were fired by the urban management bureau, with the other two regular employees being penalized. Two temporary workers have been detained by the police for their behavior, People's Daily Online reported Wednesday following a press conference held by the city's government.
