Sunny autumn, water reflection of a pond at small temple

This is a temple pond near my place in Nara,Japan. Some maple leaves floating on the pond and colorful trees are from water reflection.

As you know we have 4 seasons in Japan, so we can enjoy cherryblossoms, fresh greens, colored leaf, and white snow.

The temple name of this foto is Futaiji-temple(不退寺),Nara city. This is quite small temple compared with Todaiji-temple(東大寺) or Horyuji-temple(法隆寺)which are well known as old temple since 6-8 centuries when capital was in Nara prefecture, but there are many small, old temples which have national treasure like buddha statue,building or textiles. I took these fotos at the end of November, and I feel a little bit late to shoot perfect colored leaf... but there were still some red colored trees so I enjoyed this moment very much.

Kyoto is also well known as traditional culture or architecture, since then we can see so many travelars visiting Kyoto in these days. Nara is a bit more relaxed because it's located a bit contyside compared with Kyoto, but temples in Nara are older than Kyoto. So we can find this kind of temple such small,simple but beautiful atomosphere very easy around Nara-city.
