Autumn Leaves in Jingu Gaien

Jingu Gaien means "Outer Garden of Meiji Jingu Shrine".

There is a street lined with ginkgo trees and the height of the trees are trimmed shorter toward the vanishing point of the perspective view to show the street longer.

This street is for cars and promenades for pedestrians on both sides.
It means two lines of ginkgo trees on both sides of the center street.

We have so many people walking on the promenades in autumn.
