Sakura & Kamogawa 鴨川

Kamogawa, or wild duck river, rises from Mount Sajikigatake in the north of Kyōto and later joins the Takano River at the Kamo-ôhashi bridge and goes through the center of the city. Photographed at dusk near Kyōto university, I am somewhat confused as to why the trees are green in the reflection of the river when they are clearly red and pink with blossoms? A trick of light that has been bent and filtered by water, smog and the curvature of the planet I guess, though it gives me the sense that if you dived head-first into the water you just might resurface in another reality altogether. . .
