Traces Of Autumn In The Streets Of Daikanyama

It's almost sunset

After my appointment session, leaving Daikanyama, it's already dark

I thought Autumn was now over in Tokyo because it's already December but turns out, there are still a few trees with colorful leaves on them. Unlike in the previous years where I go gaga over Autumn, this year I wasn't in the mood for #ChasingAutumn. It's so weird, am I getting old or simply too lazy to go out in this cold weather?

Yesterday on my way to my therapist's appointment, I spotted colorful leaves in Tokyo's Little Brooklyn, Daikanyama. It was around 3 in the afternoon, and for sure, when I finished my session in the clinic, it would get dark so I made sure to take these photos to remember how it looked like before sunset.

These photos are just near the train station. There's a foot bridge connecting the train station and the mall nearby and I really stopped to take photos of the streets. A few people passing by were wondering what I was up to but I couldn't care anymore. 😅

The mall nearby started putting up its Christmas decorations. Too bad I haven't seen what it looks like when illuminated because I didn't go back this way after my session. I bet it would look like a white winter Christmas.

I usually don't have time to take photos while going to the clinic but yesterday I was early - not to take photos but to buy something. I needed to get a Christmas wrapper because my Christmas gift didn't have anything to wrap it with. Ah yes, later at night, my friends and I would be meeting in the nearby town to exchange gifts. Were we early? Probably not, but tbh, last night was the only perfect day for our schedules. 😅

After getting the wrapper, I didn't roam around Daikanyama and just went to the clinic right away. On the way though, I was just taking my precious time. The sky was so perfect. I wanted to stay in the park across the clinic but the seats were full of children and parents also enjoying the perfect weather.

How about you? How was your Saturday?

Thanks for reading!
