Golden Solitude: The Splendor of a Lone Ginkgo

奥多摩の秋風景：輝くひとりイチョウ

After completing my photowalk along the Nippara and Tama Rivers through Hikawa Gorge, I emerged from the mountain trail and stumbled upon a small village. There, I discovered a large athletic park where locals gathered to play baseball and soccer.

From the park, I had a clear view of a lone ginkgo tree, its vibrant autumn colors standing out against a backdrop of lush evergreens on the opposite hillside. This picturesque scene was set in the quaint mountain town of Okutama, nestled in Tokyo Prefecture, Japan.
