The leaves in Kyoto formed a river of color on November 17, 2013. This scene is worth a thousand words and then some.

I took this photo on Sunday evening at the famed Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto, Japan, with my point and shoot camera and a 100 円 tripod from Daiso (a cheap store in Japan). The temple, it surroundings, and changing leaves are often lit in the evenings during this time of year. This memorable photo proves a point and shoot can do just as well as any other camera.

Please enjoy the beauty and share with your friends.

I took this stunning photo on a bridge in Arashiyama, just west of Kyoto, Japan, on Saturday, October 12, 2013. The scenery at this location was truly remarkable, but having the chance to take this candid photo truly made my day. The perfect peach color of her kimono and the bow coupled with the mountainous scenery makes this a photo I will never forget. Erik Jacobs (c) 2013
