Shameless self-promoting. Recently finished a November search for fall color photos - Sendai, Matsushima, Naruko-onsen, Nara, Hikone, Nagasaki, Shimabara, Hakata and Fukuoka (actually the same but ... .) It rained most of the time I was there but I got a few shots.
Here's a teaser:
Kasuga Taisha Grand Shrine, Nara.
Link if anybody is interested. I posted less than 100 of the 500 pix I brought home
