Multi Coloured Nagano 長野県

Autumn has returned:
multicoloured fallen leaves
carpet the garden,
and the long path lies buried:
no visitor wades those drifts.
-Anonymous (Japan)

Perhaps my loveliest visits to Japan was in the autumn of 2009. Really enjoyed the autumn colours along with good food and everything in Nagano ken that year. Despite the cold, a warm colourful nostalgia overwhelms me.
