Anthony had a parent/kid kindergarten event today that I went along on. It involved taking a train along a river, then a boat back.

Much of the world's fall-foliage season of color is in full swing, or even already over, but Kyoto's is still in the “hint of what's to come” stage. Mostly you see nothing, but this property entrance near were we got off the boats in Arashiyama, near the Hougon'in Temple...

Just a Hint
of the fall colors to come

Arashiyama, all they way across town (the far west of Kyoto), is a very pretty area that I've featured a few times. The “nearby photos” link under the final photo brings up a bunch of pretty pictures, including some from a rainy day last year, and from a sight-seeing trip with an acquaintance. Most of my posts from this area have been from the photogenicly-blessed Giouji Temple.
