fall colours

With just a little over a month left of 2008, Tokyo is finally showing it's fall colors. Seems that global warming is pushing autumn back by a month these days. Mt. Takao, accessible within one hour from the heart of Tokyo has been given a 3 or 4 star rating by Michelin. As a result, the mountain has become very populated where I would not want to be near of it on weekends , especially this time of the year.

It is a very accessible mountain if you're not a big climber, and the cool fresh air is always refreshing to the mind, spirit, and the body.
