Well, late autumn and early winter is certainly the time for colour in Japan. Coming from Perth Australia where all of the native trees are evergreen and the majority of the imported deciduous trees that grow in Perth only go brown for autumn, the colour change sequence in Japan was quite fascinating. First I saw the Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) go orange, then these Ichou (Ginkgo) turned yellow, next will be the maples, but you'll have to wait a few entries to see those...
