Autumn, Unfolding in Kyoto Clouds This far north I was

This far north I was very far from city lights and the wilderness amplified the aurora’s glow

I embarked on a documentary film trip

This photo took Nick 5 weeks of hiking up to this spot 5 nights a week to capture something worth hanging on your wall

capturing the first light against its peaks

it adds a touch of rustic charm to the scene

Autumn, Unfolding in Kyoto Clouds This far north I wasI wandered into this forest in Kyoto without a plan, letting the path decide where I stopped. Layers of color moved overhead while the understory stayed calm and green, like two seasons overlapping for a brief moment. I didnt feel the need to frame anything perfectly. I just stood there long enough to notice how it all fit together.
