Rubberneck syndrome in the park!

You have some great reds there, Akira. I particularly like the images with the bright blue sky background that provides such as contrast.

It seems that we may have caught the last of the autumn colours.

Rubberneck...so true!  ;D

Thank you for the kind comment.  Yes, the complementary color makes impressive contrasts.

I agree that we could capture the very last phase of the most beautiful time of the season.

Thank you, Anthony.  Due to the location, the meet-ups in Japan have always been held in small groups in a very intimate atmosphere.

1011899 is my favourite so far. It appears so calm. Interesting how the more European Eyes of Mike and Dave tend to see the strict order and framing of nature that I also see in Japanese gardening, while the Homo jezoensis focus on the disorder and anachic way of nature...

Frank, thank you for your in-depth comment.  I'm always interested in your observations and opinions, and glad that you felt the calmness.

I guess Mike and Dave are much more disciplined than I am.   :o :o :o

Armando, thank you for the comment.  Yes, it was lots of fun.  The leaves themselves didn't look all that clean, but the light transmitted through them made them shine.

Thank you, Frank and Mike.  I tried the same idea at a couple of different spots, and this was the most successful one.

I also enjoyed some play of light and shadow...
