Meiji Jingu Gaien Ichou Namiki Matsuri 2012

Back at Meiji Jingu Gaien for the Ichou Namiki Matsuri 2012 today with the family.  As usually, my kids did not fully cooperate for a family photo.  Oh well, I will have to make to with these snaps of a fantastic day!

This is a close up of the ginkgo canopy full of gold and yellow.

The main avenue to the Meji Jingu Gaien is lined with ginkgo trees on both sides.

One of the more creative photographers that I observed today.  I believe that she successfully and creatively incorporated the golden hues of beer with the golder hues of the autumn ginkgo leaf.
