A Walk In The Park

Autumn is finally here, so the leaves are the most luscious shades of red. I dont know why its such a big deal here to observe all the seasonal changes, it might be because I know I am only here for one year so this will be the only chance I have to see everything once. This picture is taken at 'ruins' of Takayama Castle, which was really just a stone in the middle of a clearing. It took us a while to find it, since he, as a typical man, insisted on being in charge of directions so naturally we got a little lost along the way. We were completely disappointed when we were at the ruins and found the one block of stone, all alone by itself next to the giant plague saying 'Takayama Castle'.
