The Bangyeri Ginkgo, Just in Time

On Friday, November 6, I visited the Bangyeri ginkgo. It was gorgeous. The tree was huge and full, and the yellow was intense from top to bottom. Lots of people were there taking pictures, which was no surprise. I took photos too. I don’t like crowds, and I had laughed at myself for going on such a crowded day. But sometimes going anyway makes sense, because I caught the yellow before it was gone.

I wasn’t there on Saturday. When I checked the public webcam’s hourly shots, I was surprised by how much had changed that morning. The leaves were still mostly on early, then the tree was mostly bare and the leaves were on the ground.

I’m glad I caught it while it was still full and yellow. Seeing it gone so fast left me a bit deflated, though.
