It has been quite long since my first visit to Colombo. This time, I really had nothing in mind to do. When I checked the crew list, I saw another Indonesian crew operating this flight, Maya, and so I contacted her. We agreed that we’d keep the flight. I asked her what would we do there? And she said that there is this Elephant Orphanage that she would like to check it out. Great! That sounds like a plan to me. A damn good one.

Kyoto: A Golden Red Autumn

 Ep.64

14^th November 2012.

“Autumn is a second spring where every leave is the flower” – Albert Camus.

KIX – Osaka, Japan.

Golden Red Leaves and Me

For the years I have spent in my life, I have taken so many pictures, everywhere, any weather and any ages, but none of them represents autumn. It was so lucky that I got swapped in to this flight. Autumn in Japan. Well, anyway, the main objective is to capture me in a picture with autumn’s red leaves *such an objective, huh?*, but it seems that God’s got a better offer. It was November, the best time of Autumn in Japan, and I got Osaka, which is so close to Kyoto, the cultural prefecture in Japan, origin of Geishas. Got it God, I will take the best autumn picture on this trip.
