Wolfgang is a physicist who retired from Max Planck Institute, Garching, Germany. He is a common friend of my former colleague, Kenji, and me; and he is now working at the National Institute of Fusion Study in Toki, Gifu, as a visiting scientist. Kenji and I wanted to show Wolfgang the beautiful scenery of autumn leaves in Kyoto.
So, the three of us met at JR Kyoto station at 10:00 a.m. and went to Takao and Arashiyama. Luckily it was rather fine today. It was a little early to see the full red color of maple leaves. However, it was also good to see the mixture of red, yellow and green colors. In spite of a weekday, there were many people at both the places we visited. The photo shown here was taken at Jingo Temple, Takao.
Wolfgang brought me a gift from Germany. It was a small book written in English, "Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich: Guide to the Collections" (Prestel, Munich, 2003). Pinakothek is the name of the art museums in Munich. There are Alte (Old) Pinakothek and Neue (New) Pinakothek. I visited the former when I went to Munich in 1989. They seem to have built a new building, Pinakothek der Moderne, as part of Neue Pinakothek.

Hi, Ted,
The photograph is very beautiful. Red and yellow and green leaves are mixed. If you visit there next time, you may see the full red color of maples.

Hi J and S,
Thanks for your kind comments. I've added a new paragraph after you had read this story.

Wow! That's a good situation! I went to Lake Kawaguchi last week. There was also beautiful scenery with red leaves. This photo makes me feel relaxed. I felt happy. Thanks, Ted!

Do you live near Lake Kawaguchi? Or did you make a trip of a few days there?

I live in Chiba Prefecture. It was a nice trip to go to the Lake Kawaghcuhi.
