When I was a kid, I used to play with HO trains. My dad built me this cool track on a diorama with mountains and a small town. I added trees and all sorts of HO scale elements, but it never looked as perfect as what I saw in the magazines.There were all sorts of hobby magazine for folks trying to recreate some pastoral scene around a railway track. The most memorable part was the photos of real life scenes from relatively rustic places in the US and Europe. I never could make anything remotely close to those photo spreads.
We visited Hakone last Fall, and I was really struck by the gorgeous Autumn colors. In Tokyo, you don't really have these kinds of changes. The leaves fall off quickly or not at all. However, some mountain areas like Hakone have the sort of leaf color I grew up with. This particular shot remindS me of those idyllic images from the model train magazines of my youth.

Wow Curt, that is the epitome of autumn for me. It really does remind me of some of our best colors here. Makes me wish I had taken some better pictures when I was in New England a couple of years ago in the fall.
