cizucu Hosts 'November Diary' | Challenge #147

'November Diary' is a global online photo contest hosted by cizucu, open to any creator registered with cizucu. We curate excellent works from the submissions to discover new talents as a platform and support the community.

The theme this time is 'November Diary'.

The 'Diary' series is a contest where you post photos taken daily along with the day's events, like a diary.

Diaries are a valuable way to record your life and experiences. By reflecting, you can objectively capture your growth and changes, gaining new insights. Please write down your stories to organize your daily thoughts and feelings.

As November arrives, the feeling that the year is ending becomes more frequent. It's a busy month as the town colors change and soon transform into winter scenery. Not only the autumn leaves, but as the air clears, the starry sky will also become beautifully visible.

Let's share the photos taken this month with the cizucu community. We look forward to many submissions!

A shot capturing the ginkgo trees in the park. When you think of autumn, many might imagine the red of autumn leaves, but the scenery dyed by yellow ginkgo is also spectacular. There are famous spots for ginkgo all over Japan, so why not visit a park?
