Momiji Hunting

Yesterday was Kinryo-kansha day, which is a sort of Labor Day, and classes were dismissed. I took this opportunity to finally do some much needed capturing of the maple leaves' glorious range of colors that engulf Kyoto in these weeks (perhaps coming to an end next week). Yesterday morning I visited two favorite spots and took a few pictures.

Shinyodo, 15 minutes south of Ginkakuji on foot










Shisendo, in northern Sakyo-ku, 15 min from my house on bike
