Is this a Buddha statue in Todoroki Valley? It's very strange how its face seems different every time I look at it. It is a Buddha statue located in Todoroki Valley. It's very strange that you look different every time you see it.

I stand quietly under the autumn tree, a lonely bicycle waiting for my rider’s return. Fallen leaves wrap around my tires like a rusty blanket, and I breathe in the gentle pause between journeys.

Perched on a golden autumn branch, the little bird savors its meal in the soft afternoon light. The crisp leaves shimmer around it, turning the moment into a quiet celebration of the season.

The side light, the trees and buildings bathing in it left a strong impression. The texture of the bridge and the spots of rust and grime on the buildings added character, letting me feel the history of Iwayado Park.

横からの光とそれを浴びる木々、建物が印象的でした。橋の質感や、建物がところどころ錆びていたり汚れていたりするのが、味を出していて岩屋堂公園の歴史を感じることができました。

A lonely bench sits beneath an autumn tree, waiting patiently for someone to pause and feel the season drift by. In the quiet of the vacant park, it becomes a silent witness to fall’s gentle passing. Location: wako Jurin park, Saitama

Near Tenka Chaya, a shop by the old Misaka Pass in Fujikawaguchikomachi, Minamitsuru-gun, Yamanashi Prefecture, I photographed autumn leaves and Mount Fuji. The view of Mount Fuji from the top of the pass was a breathtaking spectacle. (･o･)📷🍁🗻

[Autumn Foliage Drive 🚘] Today I went for a drive to hunt for the remaining autumn leaves as they’re dwindling 🚗 First stop was Josenji Temple 🍁 The maple trees around the temple showed a range of colors, and every view was beautiful ✨ Mt. Nijo, being higher in elevation, didn’t have great foliage this year 😅 Still, the lookout gave a sweeping view of the mountains; the wind was cold but it felt refreshing 😊

【紅葉ドライブ🚘】

今日は残り少なくなってきた紅葉を探しにドライブしてきました🚗

まずは浄専寺🍁
境内のもみじは色とりどりで、どこを切り取っても美しかったです✨

二上山は標高が高いこともあって、紅葉はイマイチでした😅
それでも展望台からは山が一望できて、風は冷たかったですが気持ち良かったです😊

I went to see the autumn colors at Lake Minami Inagako in Kamiichinose, Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture. This quiet lake, surrounded by trees, made for a relaxing walk. The gradient of reds and yellows on the trees was beautiful 🍁💕 A friendly swan was swimming gracefully when, right in front of me, it spread its wings—what a surprise 👀! I snapped a photo of the dramatic, almost mystical scene (୨୧❛ᴗ❛)📷✨

I aimed to make a single leaf stand out by capturing the striking color of backlit autumn leaves and pairing it with a soft, blurred background. I hope it conveys the deepening of autumn and the beauty of the light.

Oita Prefecture is a place we love and visit with family at least twice a year. On November 16, when the autumn colors began, we took our second leisurely walk through Fujikawachi Valley in Saiki City. We enjoyed the lower stream for about an hour and a half. My top recommendation, Oketsu Valley, is best seen from the bridge reached by car. I was captivated by the beautifully eroded water channels and took many photos. At the time I didn’t notice the light coming from the sky, and I was truly surprised when I checked the album. It was likely a shutter moment measured in seconds. It felt as if a goddess briefly and secretly appeared, and—though audaciously—I captured her on my phone. So overcome with happiness, I decided to post this. Tomorrow is my birthday, and my family will celebrate at our favorite inn in Beppu Onsen. I am deeply moved by this early gift from the heavens.

大分県は、年2回は家族で訪れる大好きなところです。
秋色が始まった、11月16日、2度目となる、佐伯市藤河内渓谷をゆっくり散策。
渓流下流を1時間半ほど堪能。
この一番のオススメのおうけつ谷はやはり車で登りきった橋の上から。
美しい侵食された水の通り道に目を奪われ、、何枚も写真を。
その時は、空からの、この光に全く気付かず、アルバム確認して、本当に驚きました。
おそらく1秒単位のシャッターチャンスだったようです。
まさに、女神様が、さっと、お忍びで、お出ましの瞬間を、不謹慎にも、携帯に捉えてしまったのでしょう。
あまりの幸せに、投稿を思い立ちました。
明日お誕生日、別府温泉の大好きな宿で、家族が祝ってくれます。
1日早い、天からの贈り物に、大感激しております。

The fire festival at Ōnakao Rice Terraces, with 260 years of history. On autumn nights, the terraces glow orange as flames transform the landscape into a dreamlike scene. Chosen as one of Japan’s Top 100 Terraced Rice Fields, this site offers the flicker and shadowplay of fire—an effect no electric light can reproduce. Stars and the moon shine in the night sky, and the surrounding silence deepens the sense of being somewhere extraordinary. Visitors can immerse themselves in the warmth of the fire and the crisp autumn air, experiencing the season’s night with all five senses.

260年の歴史を刻む大中尾棚田の火祭り。秋の夜、この棚田は火によってオレンジ色に染まり、まるで幻想の世界が広がります。
日本の「棚田百選」にも選ばれたこの場所では、ライトの光では決して生まれない火の揺らめきと影の美しさを体感できます。
夜空には星と月が輝き、周囲の静けさと相まって非日常のひとときが心に刻まれます。

訪れた人は、火の温もりと秋の澄んだ空気に包まれながら五感で秋の夜を感じることができるでしょう。

A silhouette of a whooper swan bathed in the setting sun. Some birds use it as a stopover before flying further south in Japan, but many spend the winter in Hokkaido. At sunrise and sunset, the river glows gold as they land on the water or take flight, creating a truly beautiful sight.
