Autumn


26 October 2006

It's autumn in Yonago. The Japanese maples are turning shades of bright red and the bamboo is turning a softer green. The humidity is gone for the year and there's a cool chill to the air.

It's the peak of the harvest – rice is drying in the fields and onions are hanging from people's balconies.

The persimmon trees are abundant with their fertile fruit. The leaves have fallen to the ground and the orange fruits decorate the sparse branches.
