Heron by Togetsukyo Bridge in Autumn Arashiyama

Photorealistic scene of Arashiyama, Kyoto in peak autumn. A solitary heron with slate-gray plumage and white throat stands on the grassy riverbank beside the Katsura River. The calm water reflects fiery maple leaves in reds, oranges, and golds that line the banks. In the mid-ground, Togetsukyo Bridge arches gracefully over the river, framed by dense autumn foliage. Misty blue-green mountains rise in the distance. The golden-hour light is warm and soft, filtering through the leaves and creating delicate highlights and reflections on the water. The mood is tranquil, timeless, and evocative of traditional Japan.
