First gallon of sap collected! Only 399 to go, give or take.

Maples and [unknown tree] at Kiyomizu-dera 
Finally got around to going through some of the photos I took on my camera (vs. phone) during our trip to Kyoto.
I was initially not very happy with most of what I got that day. But after re-learning some basic darktable workflow again to clean things up, I ended up with at least a few that I liked.
If you know what the twisty foreground tree is, let me know.

One more batch of striking photos of the temples Nanzenji (南禅寺) and Eikandō (永観堂) along the Eastern Mountain Range of Kyōto or the Path of Philosophy (哲学の道).
The first batch, including climbing up the huge gate of Nanzenji, is at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/115706568145190275
It hasn't been reported in the Japanese language news, but I heard sirens and ducked into the back of Nanzenji to walk along a little-known path along the mountainside by the old canal that runs from Lake Biwa to provide fresh water to Kyōto. But the rescue trucks went to the exact same place, and I saw rescue crew looking into the canal, and men going up with at least one stretcher. I didn't stick around, though, and I left, past gawking East Asian tourists. What did they want to see? I just wanted a contemplative walk, but it was an odd coincidence.

Much like Christmas, it always feels as if the autumn colours will never arrive...
...but just like that they're here and it doesn't feel as if there's enough time to enjoy them🥹

Yes, this is quite funky.
