    Hello,

    I wanted to share a beautiful video of Japanese maples in Kyoto during Fall. I have seen many of these, but nothing that is this high quality. It's stunningly beautiful and relaxing. (For the best experience I used my HDMI to play it on my HDTV. You can use your Blu-ray player if it has YouTube as another alternative) If you know of a better video, then please share, because I would love to see it. Some of the video is of night colors and a train ride through a beautiful show of colors. Then it shows daytime colors too and great scenery and architecture.

    If your fall colors fell flat this year, then this is a great opportunity to see some beautiful maples at peak color. Or maybe you are like me and want to see Kyoto some day in person, but at this point in life I have to settle for the next best thing and watch this video. I hope you enjoy:

    Very nice, thank you for sharing. Haven't had the time to watch all of it but just wanted to say the train ride starting at at 0:06:53 is amazing!

    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did not get all the way through it either, but so far the train ride is one of my favorite parts too.

    I finally got all the way through it and have to agree that the last 30 minutes are the best, featuring some of the best colors, gardens, and architecture.

    For those who do not want to watch the whole thing (or even the last 30 minutes), you can catch the video highlights (or condensed version) at 1:19:52 and just watch the last few minutes. You will be missing a lot, but its better than not watching it at all.
