Colour of Autumn /秋の色いろ

A few snaps taken as the leaves changed and fell during the autumn months. Now these colourful landscapes have completely changed to their bleak and bare winter states...

秋の色を少し、集めてみました。
日ごとに草木の色が変化して、今ではすっかり冬の景色になりました。。。

Sunset Spot in Nara/ 奈良の夕焼けスポット


One of the great things about living in Nara is that so many sightseeing spots and world heritage sites -whether it is temples, shrines, or the primeval forest- are just a few minutes cycle ride from your doorstep. As we get many visitors during the daytime I prefer to visit either early morning while the air is still clear or earlly evening when there are few people around and the sun is going down.

The shots today were taken at Nigatsu-do hall it is one of the structures in Todai-ji temple in Nara park (also known as the deer park). Most of the tourists go to the main temple where the great Buddha is housed but not many go to Nigatsu-do hall.
I highly recommend this place especially at sunset, you can view the entire city all the way to Ikoma mountain...
Just take a little extra walk up the hill and it's free of charge! 

奈良に住んでいて、素晴らしいな...と感じることのひとつに、うちから自転車で10分程度のことろに観光スポットや世界遺産、原生林などがあることろです。
日中は国内外からの観光客が多いので、空気の澄んでいる早朝か人気の少なくなった夕暮れ時に出かけるのが好きです。

今回の写真は、東大寺・二月堂で撮影したものです。あのお水取り(修二会)で有名なことろです。ここからの眺めはとてもいいのですが、たいていの人は大仏殿を見て満足してしまうのか、ここまで登ってくる人は多くないかもしれません。
だけど、奈良で夕焼けを見るなら、お勧めのスポットです!奈良市の向こう側に生駒山まで見渡せます。
なんといってもタダです!!
