Ichou no ki

Fall color is still very vibrant here, even in December. Its still very mild compared to what it would be in the Northeast US right now I think. These are some shots I took at a kind of famous place for 'Ichou no ki' (ginkgo trees) called Ichou namiki. This double-lined row of Ginkos is a popular spot for shooting TV 'dorama' (dramas). The street becomes a thick yellow carpet and the particular smell of gingkos is unmistakalble!
