Every time I see a waterfall, I can't help wanting to practise a slow shutter speed. Click! A silky white ribbon appeared between the rocks.

December 2, 2025. Our first stop in Yasui Gorge was Momiji Park.

The maples along the path were thin, and fallen leaves covered the stones. It felt quiet and lonely.

Looking through the fence at the maples further away, the leaves looked like stars on the branches. With a wide-aperture lens, the whole picture almost seemed to sparkle.

Walking down the path, I noticed the fallen leaves. The most special one was an orange-red maple leaf, like a flame among the dry brown ones. I had never seen one like it.
