Illuminated Maples - 紅葉のライトアップ

There's no reason to stop enjoying the autumn leaves just because the sun has set!
夕暮れだけで秋の紅葉を楽しめないと言えないでしょうね！

These photos are from the illuminated autumn leaves and light displays at Nabananosato in Mie prefecture.

Using a long exposure time, 4 seconds in the above photo, helps to pick up the dark areas that are only just barely lit by the flood lights and has the bonus effect of smoothing out the water in a pleasing manner. The ripples from the fountain on the left have rendered the reflections of the sky, trees and lights into smooth swaths of colour rather than jagged random points of light.
４秒のシャッタースピードで撮りましたから木の暗闇で見えない部分が見えるようになるし水の波がきれいに柔らかくなります。

LEDs were used on many of the evergreen trees, pines and the like, I think it compliments the reds and yellows of the maples quite well. There was no movement in the water in this particular pond, so the reflection is very sharp.
松の木はLEDで飾って紅葉とよく合います。この池の水は動いていないから反射ははっきり見えます。

Nabananosato is a very popular spot, particularly for this light display in the fall. Many people came with their families and on dates too.
なばなの里は秋にとても人気があります。家族や若いカップルはいっぱい来てました。

くまモンも出った！日本だけでわない世界中で人気があります！

After watching the LED display which cycled through showcasing some of Japan's natural wonders, we continued back through the park towards the entrance.
By now night had truly fallen and the inky sky was reflected in the water.
LEDを楽しんでから出口の方に進みました。真っ黒の空が水に反射されました。

Autumn is my favourite season in Japan, it's a bit colder but the colours are extremely vibrant and a treat to behold.
日本で秋はやっぱり私の大好きな季節。ちょっと寒いかも知らないが色はとても鮮やかで綺麗と思います。

The combination of the illuminated trees and the dark reflecting ponds seems like something from a fantasy movie, quite magical indeed!
ライトアップされている木と暗い池のほファンタジーのような風景ですね！
