Autumn Reminiscence - Shikoku Mura

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spent almost all the daylight hours in the open-air"
                                                                              
Nathaniel Hawthorne

 and spent it out in the open-air we did; one fine autumn day at the Shikoku Mura; an open air museum in Yashima, Kagawa Prefecture on Shikoku Island.

Traditional farm and folk houses (there were some quarters for lighthouse keepers too) relocated from all over Shikoku are displayed at the open-air museum but before I put up my  (most probably long, very detailed) post or posts on the traditional houses seen there; some autumn colours . Enjoy. ^^
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Why stay indoors when one can spend the whole morning looking at such wonderful burst of colours and enjoy the crisp morning air, right?

This is the second part of a 7-part Autumn Reminiscence posts that I'll do for this month. Have you seen the photos of Lake Kinrinko I posted up a few days earlier? ^^

Update:
Nothing to do with Japan or Autumn but just wanna share something to celebrate the New Year of 2012. By doing a 12K run at Padang Merbok with 4,000 other runners on Jan 8th. It was FUN!
Did a pretty lousy timing but in my defense - the route was hilly. It was up, uP and UP and downhill only towards the end.
