A quiet morning stroll through the forests of Karuizawa.

We took a trip to celebrate my 27th birthday and catch the last autumn leaves before they disappeared.

There was not much color at first, but after a 40-minute walk we arrived at a lake surrounded by these astonishing orange leaves.

This photo is a nice reminder of that day. I wish I'd opened my eyes a bit more though.
