Every leaf speaks bliss to me,
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
—Emily Brontë

This place isn’t quite as impressive as Kōrankei (as seen yesterday), but anywhere with autumn leaves is a place worth seeing.

This is the grounds of Okazaki Castle. The castle moat (now empty) is actually to the right, right out of the frame

The leaves are still holding on, but they are fighting a losing battle with the wind. Nevertheless, even fallen and on the ground, the autumn leaves are beautiful!
