Tranquil time out #7

The Japanese go as mad for the autumnal change in colour as they do for spring’s cherry blossom — almost. Meaning a peaceful day out in ‘the country’ has to be shared by hordes of leaf loving photographers; all happily snapping away, fastidiously filling another album with more red, orange and brown foliage.

Still, despite my rather forced cynicism, it is quite a pretty time of year.

autumn in japan

I suppose.

    This is one of my favorite photos from my trip to Japan last year. I think there were more tourists and cameras than actual maple leaves: http://luminouslens.baltiblogs.com/whitelight/archives/007297.html

    Why don’t you join me with a blog called Tokyo Daily Photo? I’d love to share your photos along with many others who do the same from their part of the world! Think about it… 🙂

    That’s a beautiful photo – I love the reflection. I have to agree that it is a great time of the year out there too. I managed to get a lot of autumn leaf shots during my recent work trip to Yokohama and Tokyo. The weather was perfect for it; cold, but bright and sunny every day. Reminded me a lot of England (though for some reason Japan does that to me every time I visit, and it’s not just that they drive on the same side of the road).

    Beautiful time of the year isn’t it – you have to admit it. It must be especially nice over there in Japan. Wish I was there to test out my new digicam…
