Autumn in Kyoto :Part 3

after a pretty heavy breakfast at sukiya at about 530am, i was on my way to toufuku ji. i came here 2 years ago and i liked the place. i was the first to reach, just before the sun came up. but photographers were soon coming minutes later. the sunrise was somewhat disappointing, this was what i salvaged with photoshop and filters.
the leaves were great though. it was only about 730am but i was pretty tired by then. and the queue going into toufuku was starting to build already. since ive been here before, i decided to skip it.
my next destination was a 10min ride to to-ji. i liked the place for one reason and one reason only. it was quiet and peaceful. it was probably cause the leaves werent that great but its nice to get away from the crowd.

the garden while not the best , was still pretty okay. thats the famous pagoda at the temple grounds.
reflections.

it was 9 sth by the time i finished. i was exhausted and my muscles started to hurt. my foot was sore. i wanted to go kiyomizu actually but decided to skip and head back instead. that's the end of my trip and probably the last time i see kyoto. thats unless it snows at the end of december. then i might just wanna capture the temples in white, it's something ive always wanted to do but unlike sakuras and autumn leaves, its so unpredictable making it hard to plan.
