Zuishinin Monzeki, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto, Japan

A vibrant songbird perches upon a delicate, bare branch, framed by a breathtaking cascade of fiery scarlet and burning amber Japanese maple leaves (momiji). The dense crimson foliage forms a glowing, layered backdrop, transitioning seamlessly from intense vermilion at the top to variegated shades of orange and gold near the base. The photograph evokes an immersive autumn sensory atmosphere: the crisp, invigorating chill of a late November afternoon, the subtle rustle of falling leaves drifting across temple moss (chiru momiji), the gentle chirping of wild birds echoing through quiet groves, and the grounding aroma of damp earth and aged cedar in a secluded sanctuary.
Zuishin-in Temple, located in Yamashina Ward on the eastern edge of Kyoto, is an imperial-head (monzeki) temple of the Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism, established in 991 AD by the high priest Ninkai. The temple precincts are historically renowned for their deep association with Ono no Komachi, the celebrated Heian-period waka poetess and legendary beauty, who is said to have spent her later years in quiet seclusion here. Komachi's legacy endures across the grounds through historic sites like her fumi-zuka (letter burial mound) and Komachi-no-i (water well). In late autumn, the temple gardens become a tranquil haven for momijigari (autumn leaf viewing), where traditional landscape gardening showcases the heritage craft of Japanese horticulture (monozukuri), carefully framing natural trees against sacred temple architecture.

Scientists are developing semi-transparent, tinted solar panels that let specific wavelengths of light through to crops below. Initial results show same yields to those grown in full sun. Could solve a major issue with solar farms.

Finally: Rose-Tinted Solar Panels Could Let Crops And Electricity Share The Same Land

Plants are the original solar panels, and they're very good at converting light into energy – red and blue light, that is.

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

Taken from a Reddit post, a framework supports purple-pink blossoms that blot out the top of the photo, shading the light a magical color, with a dark vine stem in the distance.
