“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
― Albert Camus
Autumn is fantastic. Japan is blessed with distinct four seasons, and of the four seasons, autumn is an ideal season to photo-walk across Yokohama to enjoy red and gold-colored leaves. And it is of course an in-between season whose length varies with the weather, and lately thanks to global warming, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between summer and autumn.
Still, the seasons are changing, and it heralds a change of daily rhythms of life. As autumn arrives across the nation, I like the gentleness of the season, before the cold sets in. Even though the year has been extraordinary for every one of us, we need to find time to slow down and get some rest.
Last weekend, I went to a photo-walk at Yokohama’s popular Minato Mirai area with my friend. As leaves are turning red since the middle of November, we were able to capture the best of mother nature within a modern metropolis.
Here are some shots of autumn leaves I photographed with my Canon EOS Kiss X7.
