Oraise in Fall


Back home you never really get to enjoy watching the leaves change colour before they fall.  I don't know if it just gets to cold to quickly, or if Saskatchewan trees are just defective - but I remember kicking green leaves down the street.  Here, if you drive about an hour and a half you can go where there are multicolour trees overhanging a beautiful babbling brook.  


We were maybe a week or two too late to get the full "Fall foliage" experience, but their was still enough colour to enjoy or little hike along the water.


Fall in Misawa is rather uneventful - but if you take a bit of a trip you get learn what fall is really suppose to look like.  All of the photos are from the Oraise Gorge, along side Lake Towada in Aomori Prefecture.
