A cliched scene for sure. Arguably almost too traditionally Japanese to be true as well. But at the same time it is, without a doubt, really quite beautiful.

Al says
Very beautiful!
Lee says
The colours are wonderful, aren’t they? Must admit, I have a real soft spot for bonsai. Beautiful things.
Hans ter Horst says
I wouldn’t shy away from a scene just because it reeks of a cliché, I’m glad you shared it as it is truly beautiful
Lee says
Thank you.
That’s a very good point. Beauty is beauty whether it’s a cliche or not. I do love bonsai too. They have a wonderful collection where I took the photo. Some absolutely stunning works of art. Never tire of seeing them.
LAObserver says
The really captures Nihonjin art: simple, clean and colors that work together.
Lee says
Yes, that’s very true. Done well it’s really hard to beat, isn’t it?
Jeffrey says
Goodness! Nothing cliche or blase about the wonder of bonsai. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one turn in the fall before.
Lee says
The place where I shot this is near where I live, and they have a fantastice bonsai collection. So fortunately I get to see it every year. They truly are wondrous things, aren’t they?
Sam says
I agree with Jeffrey. Bonsai can never be cliched.
Tiffy says
I have never known that bonsai trees also change colors during autumn. This is very interesting. Great shot Lee!
