Saihoji, the serene Zen moss garden in Kyoto, is known—-as you’d expect—-for moss. The Japanese Maples in the garden are also wonderful, and beautifully tended. Here are two photos showing the maples in their autumn finery from my visit yesterday.

Note that these two images are directly out of my camera with no post-production. I “reserve the right” to edit and enhance the images if I feel it is necessary once I get home and can use my production computer!
