Autumn Leaves in Kyoto

Well I have finally managed to achieve one of my long term travel goals in Japan, and that is to get to Kyoto during the brief period in which the red leaves are at their most spectacular. And spectacular it was. I’ve uploaded some of the shots I took to flickr, I think they are some of the best I have ever taken, certainly makes it easy when shooting with such stunning surrounds.

Without a doubt the best shots came from a small temple (Kuwayama Temple) on the outskirts of Kyoto. A tip from the concierge at the Ryokan we were staying at. It certainly paid off as we were the only people there, and the leaves were simply stunning.
