An Autumn day's ride through Nara Park

One thing I enjoy about working in Japan is the number of national holidays it has. This past Wednesday was Labor Day (Kinrō Kansha no Hi) in Japan, and therefore I had the day off. As a result I decided to take a ride over to Nara Park to see the autumn leaves before they are all gone. It is already getting a bit late in the season however fortunately some trees still had leaves on them. Although the winters in Nara are very mild, I definitely wouldn't mind if autumn decided to stick around for a few more months!
