Kyoto in Autumn - a photo on Flickriver

Kyoto in Autumn

            I had the incredibly good fortune to just spend a week in Kyoto.  It was my first trip to Japan (or anywhere in Asia for that matter) and it was a pretty incredible experience.

Kyoto is a beautiful city - it's full of temples and amazing architecture and isn't nearly so congested and modernized as larger centers such as Tokyo (from what I've come to understand anyways).  The city is full of beautiful scenery, including an abundance of foliage such as this Japanese Maple, not yet at the peak of their Autumnal color even in mid-November.

Adjacent to our hotel there was a large park complete with a small lake, a little more than 1 mile around, surrounded by tree-covered hills.  There was time one afternoon to take the walk and enjoy the scenery.  Among all the color, this particular maple caught my attention more than the others and I had to pause for a bit to take several shots.  I particularly liked this one for the way the dark branches radiated out from the bottom left and provided strong contrast against the leaves.

So if you have the means to jump over to Kyoto on a whim, I highly suggest you do - the color should be even richer now (I just got back last night myself).
