After having
spent the last 2 weeks in Sydney for a business trip, I came back to Japan (ahh,
there's nothing like home) to enjoy the Japanese Autumn in
Tokyo. One popular spot is in Meiji Jingu Gaien
(明治神宮外苑), where all gather in the Ichou Ginko Street (いちょう並木) to
admire the famous yellow leaves.
Actually, all trees were not yellow yet, and only a few of them were showing this magnificent colour. The best time will probably be in a week or two from now, when it really starts getting cold. At that time, I hope to be able to capture more of their colours.
As mentioned
earlier, when an event like that one occurs in Tokyo, and in spite of Japanese
innate sense for order, some organization is required to make sure that the flow
of pedestrians in a hurry to take photographs of the trees does not disturb the
traffic. The young
person
assigned to that task this afternoon seemed to have a hard time to cope with the
unstoppable flow of people today.
