Autumn, Unfolding in Kyoto Clouds Under the Milky Way's guidance

Under the Milky Way's guidance

I embarked on a documentary film trip

this frame reveals the island’s internal structure

This far north I was very far from city lights and the wilderness amplified the aurora’s glow

capturing the first light against its peaks

Autumn, Unfolding in Kyoto Clouds Under the Milky Way's guidanceI wandered into this forest in Kyoto without a plan, letting the path decide where I stopped. Layers of color moved overhead while the understory stayed calm and green, like two seasons overlapping for a brief moment. I didnt feel the need to frame anything perfectly. I just stood there long enough to notice how it all fit together.
