Autumn in Kyoto - part 2
Continuing the posts about 紅葉 (autumn leaves)...
November 24th. Lucia, Hiroshi, Kaori and me scheduled a visit to Shugakuin Imperial Villa. Being one of the imperial places, it requires reservation in advance. Luckily, the weather was really nice that day, what turned the strolling more enjoyable.
Again, being an imperial place, it means that people have to follow a route with one guy explaining details of the place and another at the back to make sure the group stays together... or something like it.
Still, that place is SO worth a visit during fall/autumn... Very beautiful!
After that, we went looking for other places to see the leaves... But choosing the Philosopher's Walk area wasn't one of our best ideas. The momiji around that aera were still a little green. It was a fun day nevertheless. And we still could gather some other Brazilians around for dinner.
November 26th. There was a group at the university who was scheduling a visit to Kodaiji at night to see the "light-up" event. I thought of going, but actually had forgot that after the events of the last days. By sheer coincidence I walked around their rendezvous point about the time they left... or maybe my unconscious mind remembered that.
It was beautiful all right. But sort of crowded. And at night. Those conditions make it hard to take good pictures. While I was trying, most of the group went ahead and finished the visit before... It was more a less at that time that I noticed that I needed a tripod. It was time to go shopping again...
