Thanks, although I’ll be the first to admit that my skills as a photographer are amateurish at best. I’d like to try my hand at a DSLR and snap some proper photographs, but the complexity of those devices does scare me a wee bit.
cool photos. must be a great feeling to walk along the path while those reddish leaves are falling. (but I bet it must be pretty hot with summer creeping in the corner.)
It was a pretty amazing experience, I must say – in some ways more interesting than walking underneath a canopy of cherry blossoms (very beautiful in their own way but somewhat monochromatic).

Wow, the views are absolutely breathtaking; has a nice poetic mood to it.
Indeed, and it’s the sort of thing that’s best experienced first-hand. My poor attempts at photography really don’t do these autumn views justice.
