On the last full day that mum and dad were here with us in Japan, I brought them for a walk to some of my favourite spots around my neighbourhood. While at this particular spot I noticed this scene which was very similar to an example photo shown for an "Autumn Scene" contest. Except that in this shot the cosmos aren't standing so tall, thanks to the beating they took in the typhoon that when through just 4 days prior.
Well, I know photography is not about trying to copy other shots, but sometimes when you've been seeing the advertising example photo on every street corner notice board, it's just hard to resist clicking that shutter release when the same scene comes past your eyes in real life!
