The waterfall that I affectionately call Skógafoss Junior looking great on a cloudy September day. At 65 feet tall, it's only about 1/3 the height of the real Skógafoss, but with lots fewer visitors. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

A tall and wide plunge waterfall sits at the head of a canyon with moss-covered boulders sitting beside a river.

Into October 🍂 #photography #nature #trail #sunlight #autumn #fall I waited at the start of this trail as the sun started shining through the trees, hoping for light rays. As I was photographing this spot the glowing leaves looked almost like fireflies as they moved in the slight breeze. ✨️💛

Orange leaves line a trail through a tunnel of trees. Morning sunlight from the right lights up leaves here and there.

The gate of Bishamontang, Emissary Santo, Yamashina District, Kyoto City

Framed by a blazing canopy of Japanese maples (momiji), a steep stone pathway (chokushimichi) rises toward a dark wooden gate, its steps completely buried beneath a thick carpet of scarlet foliage. Slender bamboo handrails flank the stone stairs, leading the eye along a dramatic linear perspective toward the imperial messenger gate at the crest of the slope. Overhead, interlocking branches filter the light, casting a warm crimson glow over the damp stone and moss-covered embankments. The scene evokes an intimate sensory atmosphere: the crisp mountain air of a Kyoto morning, the faint scent of damp moss and aged cedar, the soft crunch of fallen leaves underfoot, and the profound, reverent hush of an ancient temple precinct.
Located at Bishamon-do Temple in the Yamashina District of Kyoto, this approach—known as the chokushimichi (Imperial Messenger Path)—is renowned for its late-autumn sando (shrine approach), where fallen leaves form an iconic momiji no jūtan (maple carpet). Originally founded in 703 AD by the monk Gyōki and re-established at its present site in 1665, Bishamon-dō is a distinguished monozeki temple (traditionally presided over by members of the imperial family or high nobility). The Chokushimon Gate at the top of the stairs was reserved for official imperial envoys, reflecting the sanctuary's esteemed lineage. The seamless integration of stone masonry, timber architecture, and natural forest contours reflects the supreme craft of Japanese zōen (landscape architecture) and monozukuri (artisanal mastery), designed to celebrate the subtle shifts of the seasonal calendar.

Steps leading to a temple in Noboriro, Japan.

Ascending into the atmospheric stillness of the night, a grand covered stone stairway (Noborirō) climbs steeply beneath a rhythmic timber arcade. Lined along every stone step, small square paper lanterns cast a soft, candlelight glow across the weathered flags, while iconic oval paper lanterns (chōchin) hang suspended from the heavy wooden ceiling beams above. The warm, amber radiance filters through white washi paper, carving an illuminated path through the surrounding darkness. The stark contrast between the coarse, unpainted timber posts, the smooth stone steps, and the gentle, flickering halos of light creates a deeply tactile sensory atmosphere: the cool night air of the mountain, the faint aroma of incense drifting from above, and the hushed, reverent stillness of a sacred ascent.
Located at Hase-dera in Sakurai, Nara Prefecture, this famous 399-step covered corridor—known as the Noborirō (登廊)—was originally erected in 1039 by Chinen, a priest of Kasuga Taisha Shrine, in gratitude for a miraculous healing. Functioning as the primary pilgrimage approach from the Niomon Gate to the temple's National Treasure Main Hall (Hondō), the stairway features three distinct sections hung with unique oval "Hase-style" lanterns. During special evening illuminations such as the annual Kannon Mantōe (Ten Thousand Lantern Ceremony), hundreds of lanterns are lit to guide pilgrims toward the temple's 10-meter gilded Eleven-Faced Kannon statue.

I had visited Hraunfossar a few times before - but never in fall - and all I can say is "wow". The autumn yellows and reds take this place to another level of beauty. #timothykeeneyphotography #photography #landscapephotography

Small birch trees with their foliage in autumn yellow sit above a brown rock face with many small threads of water spilling from it into a turquoise-colored river below.

Vintage Japanese Obi design art. Painting 1940’s, Japan. Yorke Antique Textiles

Unfolding across a vertical paper canvas, lush, stylized blossoms featuring pristine white outer petals and intense vermilion-red centers burst forth against a deep forest-green ground. Delicate, textured golden stamens dot the heart of each flower, while slender, arching blades of emerald grass sweep dynamically across the composition. A textured diagonal swath of antiqued gold wash glimmers beneath the foliage, sprinkled with small, luminous white dew drops that sparkle like liquid pearls. The vibrant contrast between velvety green shadows, warm metallic undertones, and saturated reds and whites creates a tactile, sensory atmosphere, evoking the cool freshness of a dew-laden morning garden.
Created in 1940s Japan, this painted paper work is an original zuan (textile design render)—a hand-painted pattern template crafted specifically to guide the production of a luxury silk obi (kimono sash). During the Mid-Shōwa period, skilled textile designers (zuan-shi) synthesized classical Nihonga painting techniques with modern graphic boldings to instruct master weavers and yūzen dyers. The grand peony motif, long celebrated as a symbol of nobility, prosperity, and springtime vigor, is here reimagined with dramatic mid-century clarity. Such design renders embody the essential first stage of Japanese textile monozukuri (artisanal mastery), translating fine art draftsmanship into technical instructions for weaving and dyeing raw silk into wearable art.

This photograph captures the essence of kōyō (or momijigari, the seasonal custom of autumn foliage viewing), a cherished pastime in Japan that dates back to the refined courtly culture of the Heian period (794–1185).
