I went on short photo walks yesterday afternoon and this morning, at a cluster of temples near my place. It was quit pretty. I'd never been to the small Eisho-in Temple, and went yesterday on the recommendation of Tal (seen on this post) and found it to be exquisite at the height of fall colors.

I went back this morning with Damien, and we had the place all to ourselves.

I'll write more about it all later, but for today just a few representative from both days' ramblings. (You can see the paths I walked on Strava, here and here.)

My walks also visited the Konkaikomyou-ji Temple (金戒光明寺), of which the temple above is a sub part, and the next large temple to the north, the Shinnyodo Temple (真如堂本坊).

You might remember the scene above, with the “no cars” granite post, from this shot four years ago.

In the fuzzy background of the shot above, you might be able to notice that there are three people, one person taking the photo of a couple. It turns out that I knew the photographer. Small world.
