I was in Kamikochi only at daylight, but it must be great during the night too. So I made a kind of night impression.
Happy weekend everyone!
Kamikochi (上高地, Kamikōchi) is a popular resort in the Northern Japan Alps of Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
Schachten are ancient areas of pasture in the Bavarian Forest in Germany, some of which are still used today.
Similar to the alms or alpine pastures of the Alps, Schachten are treeless forest meadows. These open areas, often covering several hectares, were used by the herdsmen as places to stay for the night and for halts on a journey. Individual trees were left in place on these meadows to provide shady resting places for the animals. These isolated trees grew, unsheltered and are often gnarled by wind and weather.
These forest clearings are especially interesting because they are the only open areas in these huge forests and often have good views.

The small Buddhist temple Joushouin (常照院) in Shiba. This was originally founded in 1590, but rebuilt in 1769 after a fire. It survived the Great Kanto Earthquake but was badly damaged by World War II bombings in 1945 and only the worship hall survived and the rest was rebuilt.
The oldest part of the temple can be seen here (taken at the same visit as this one - but posted to Flickr already back in 2015): www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/17087559911

The pub Clachan in London, where mum and I ended up back in 2008 after a visit to Liberty where we had bought Christmas ornaments. That was a fun trip - and my first trip to London which gave me quite the taste for the place!

At a small Buddhist temple called Shunchoji (俊朝寺) - of the Sōtō school. It was founded in 1655, though I doubt the building itself is that old. Located in Toranomon, Tokyo.
Outside you can find this bronze statue. On the stone below is written 羽呉, but I have drawn a blank on what that could mean (apart from the name of Shinto shrine in Osaka). The statue itself looks very much like one of the bodhisattva Kannon.
