autumnal equinox

I thought this was an ink brush painting at first,
 a perfect introduction to one of my favorite parts of the year: the transition from summer to fall.

Railway Bridge, Japan
On an early summer morning, Teruo Araya captured this image of a train on Japan Rail's Tadami line as it passed through Fukushima Prefecture. "The haze generated by the river created a fantasy world," as the train crossed the railway bridge, Araya says. For the Your Shot contributor, the sight expressed the recovery of the people of Fukushima, defying the earthquake and nuclear accident of March 2011. "But it is like an endless journey."
