Amazing Red Autumn Leaves and Other Things














Here's a small selection from the many photos I managed to take in Kyoto last weekend...














The red leaves of autumn are known in Japanese as "koyou", and koyou viewing- particularly in Kyoto- is a popular passtime. Hoards of tourists descend on the big sights, but luckily I was able to find this "scenery plus flag" shot in a group of temples in the north, Daikokuji, that were relatively quiet.














Higashiyama and Arashiyama are the mountains to the east and west of Kyoto. I hadn't been to Arashiyama before, but the colours were amazing!

Another cat photo!


Just one more cat pic, I promise. But this one's the best.
