SLR Play day 1

This week I will not have enough time to post any written entries, but I wanted to share something with you even while I was unavailable.

I've been considering my next large purchase, and have given great thought to getting an SLR camera. I love photography, and used to have a real camera back when I was in high school. The shutter broke (and film became too expensive to develop), and I never replaced it. Now that I'm getting back into photography, maybe it's time?

Last week I was able to spend some time taking photos with a borrowed digital SLR, and will post one shot each day of this week. Hope you like them!

Shosenkyo - 紅葉 （こうよう）

Although it was a little early in the season, two friends and I decided to visit Shosenkyo last Saturday.
It's a very scenic drive that they close off to pedestrians only in the fall.  People can walk along the windy mountain road and enjoy a leisurely hike while taking pictures and gazing at the changing colors of the leaves.  Like I said, it was a little early in the season for us to go because it has been strangely warm for November, and many of the leaves haven't changed colors yet.  Below are a few pictures that we took.

I'm so glad I got to go!  It was a nice time to get away from the busyness of town, and just take in the sights.  The road also ran along a small gorge and at the top of the hiking trail was a waterfall.  As we got near the waterfall there were too many people around for my liking, but it was very nice to see the kind of place that tourists, Japanese and foreign alike, go to see around our prefecture.

Please enjoy my pictures!
