My father was in Japan for a week earlier this month visiting his family, who live in Hiroshima. On his way to Hiroshima, he stopped by Kyoto and took some photographs of the December foliage in the beautiful city that was formerly Japan’s imperial capital. He emailed us a bunch of the shots he took, and some were so gorgeous, I had to share…

Seriously, breathtaking. The last photo in particular! I’m sad I won’t see you and your baby bump on Xmas eve. Hope you have a good time going home for the
Holidays! I wish you and Dan the best 🙂

Aren’t they beautiful? The last one is my favorite too! I’m sad we won’t be able to make it to the Allen Christmas get-together again this year… please send your family my love! 🙂 We hope to see everyone another time soon!

The colors are so vivid, luv luv luv~

I love the brilliant reds in the leaves! 🙂
I’m surprised that they are still so vivid in December…

I can’t even begin to describe that last one. The first one is also just gorgeous. Makes me really want to find time to visit Kyoto at some point…

The last one took my breath away! And the first one is really scenic. 🙂
My father has always loved photography as a hobby, and I never really considered whether he was good at it or not, but these photos are breathtaking!

simply amazing!! I too love the last photo! And the second one as well! <3

It seems like a lot of people like the last photo – it has an almost ethereal look to it. I love the reds in the foliage! 🙂

Ahhh, I miss Kyoto<3 I hope I have a chance to visit Kyoto during the foliage season next time =)
December 18, 2010 @ 9:27 am
I’ve only been to Kyoto a couple times, so I really want to go next time I’m in Japan! Every time I’ve been in Japan, it’s been summertime so I want to experience its beauty in other seasons… 🙂

oh wow, beautiful shots! the last one is particularly impressive.
December 18, 2010 @ 9:36 am
I love the last one, too!
I’ll let my Dad know that you liked the photos too! 🙂
December 18, 2010 @ 1:37 pm
I love the first one! (as well as the last one) I’m planning a Japan trip for next year and I definitely wanted to stop by Kyoto! It’s absolutely breath taking. I can’t wait to see you in a week!~ 🙂
December 18, 2010 @ 8:33 pm
Ohhh that’s so exciting that you’re planning a trip to Japan! We are thinking of going next year with the baby, but not sure when. You should definitely go to Kyoto during your time there.
Can’t wait to see you, either! 😀
December 18, 2010 @ 3:26 pm

December 18, 2010 @ 8:33 pm

December 18, 2010 @ 3:53 pm
Absolutely incredible photos. Thanks for sharing!
December 18, 2010 @ 8:34 pm
Thank you Brandr! I always enjoy seeing the photos of you and Juli’s travels, too! 🙂 I like living vicariously through you guys…
December 22, 2010 @ 7:43 am
what beautiful shots!! No wonder people in Japan always say that Kyoto is the best spot you should visit for the momichi season
December 29, 2010 @ 2:45 pm
Yes, Kyoto is really beautiful!
I hope to someday see Kyoto in autumn myself. 🙂
