Japan 2007 - fall

Our hero at Nagoya Castle.

Poster seen at a temple in Osu, Nagoya. "What is the sound of Zen?...Listen to the silence"

Tori (sort of a Shinto "spiritual gateway") at the Atsuta shrine. I like the way the sun line up for this shot.

We spotted several of these during our bus trip. Just a mannequin with a waving arm and attached flag.

in the Imperial Garden, Tokyo - prune trees blooming even as other trees are losing their leaves for the autumn.
