Viewing the autumn colours.....

....in the Japanese garden of the Shinjuku Imperial Gardens in Tokyo. Most beautifully landscaped, this garden offers a great joy to visitors both in spring and in autumn.

This is truely amazing! The colors are fantastic and I like the reflection in the water. You did a great job capturing all the essence - the bridge is a great contrast to the background.

You are surrounded by beauty, Gabriela; I don't know how you stay away from this beautiful park! ... By the way, those birds are either Grackles or Crows; I'm not sure which.

@Judy: Dear Judy, the park is two hours away from my home, by one bus and three trains!!!! Hahahaha!!!So, this means a one day's trip! As I said before, in my comment to the previous posting, I had the feeling that I was walking around in Nature's gallery where the trees were the masterpieces.I'm glad you like it!Thank you for the visit!

@Lorraine: Ther's no Japanese garden without - at least - a little bridge. It seems it is part of any traditional landscaped garden here. My favourites are the red ones!Thanks for teh visit, Lorraine!

The Japanese create gardens that brings harmony to the spirit. This bridge among the colorful trees and calm water makes me want to be standing there. It is a beautiful serene place.
