Cliché
but with good reason
Today started off cold and rainy, forcing me to actually get some development done on my plugins, but it cleared up in the afternoon. I'd been out on a photographic fall-color central-Japan adventure every day so far this week (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu), and wanted to make it a full week-long marathon, so I headed out for a few hours in the afternoon.
These are two of the 426 photos I took today. The one above speaks for itself, but what's going on in the photo below?

As usual, I'll hold back answer comments in moderation for a few days before making them all public on the site....

You’d be looking through the statuettes as seen here.
Looks like you took the shot through a window with beveled glass.
A photo of a tree taken through a shelf full of “offering statues” @ the temple?
Hey, how long does a “few days” last in Japan? Spill the beans! I can’t take it anymore!!!
I’ve posted the answer here.
