The autumn leaves are still colorful here in Kyoto. This is a shot of party boats (yakatabune) anchored on the Katsura River early this morning, with the colorful trees of Mt. Arashi (aka Arashiyama) behind.
Shugaku-in Imperial Villa, another property maintained by the Imperial Household in Kyoto. Essentially a series of gardens, it was established in the 17th century.
At Rurikoin, a historic villa in northern Kyoto. Beautiful greenery out the windows of this traditional Japanese home. Even more astonishing is the reflection off a large, highly polished table on the tatami floor.
