I was in Japan (Tokyo are) a few months back. This is a beautiful shot – very peacful compared to the busy streets of Tokyo.
Thank you Atticus!
I love how the lake falls right under the forest, how there’s no beach or harsh rocks to navigate if you wish to be near the waters edge. It’s be a nice spot to put down a warm blanket and have a lunch or watch for birds.
Hi, from your various comments on my posts, I could guess that you are someone who knows how to enjoy life fully. Regards, Michael
I’m not rich, but live a rich life. Thanks Michael.
Hi Boomdeeadda, this is also something I am looking for! Michael

I would like to find a bench and sit here a long while. Thanks for sharing!
Actually, I was also looking for a bench when I saw this sight. Thank you sherijkennedyriverside!
If I may ask Michael, which camera do you use?and what shutter settings did you use for this shot?
Hi Raunak, this photo was taken by a Nikon D40 DSLR, which was the cheapest and smallest DSLR when it was first sold. The picture was taken against setting sun. I don’t know the settings. I had it on auto, but reduce the aperture progressively when the picture did not come out as expected. My recent photos are taken with a Fuuji X100. Regards, Michael
thanks for sharing that Michael.
Hi Raunak, you are welcome! Michael
That is a great shot, love the colors 🙂
Thank you Jatin!

We in Canada pay great attention to the changing colours of leaves in fall, but I know that the Japanese take this phenomenon very seriously as well. Thank you for sharing it with us.
In Asia, there are other places in China, Korea etc where colors of the fall are also spectacular. Will try to capture those as well. Thank you !
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful photo, Michael! Thank you for sharing 🙂 Have a very wonderful and HAPPY week 🙂
Thank you very much for the kind and encouraging comment!
This is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. 🙂
Thank you adailydoseofbetsy!
Micheal, this … breathtaking – so beautiful. Don’t really know what to say … more than take me there … NOOOOoOOOOw!
It was a fleeting moment: the sun was setting, the leaves turned into colors, the view was against the setting sun etc. I was there at the right time!
Stunning place .. stunning photo. You did a good catch there.
Thank you Viveka!
These are magical places that you have access too! Beautiful photo!
Thank you evilnymphstuff!
Of all the places you have shared, this is my favorite. The Six Attributes Garden must be a magical place. Thanks for taking me there.
Glad that you like the garden and the post!
Beautiful shot!
If you like colored foliage, you may also like my recent post “Autumn by the Lake in Hokkaido”. Many thanks for your kind comment!
if i’m not mistaken, this is right beside the samurai museum. your pic just makes it look so enchanting.
I was too engrossed with my photo shooting ; all I know was this is within the Six Attributes Garden 🙂
