又是一個很會躲的瀑布，明明就是，一個沒辦法低調的季節! ><
但某程度來說，這瀑布的名字還挺霸氣的~青春不老的氣勢!
但走到飢腸轆轆的偶只想到............養老乃瀧.............
"Waterfall of eternal youth....."
日本青森縣, 十和田市, 奧入瀨溪流, 不老之滝 ~
I have a 90 year old neighbor who has hiked the 890 km length of the Bruce Trail three or four times. In the heyday of his 70's and even 80's, walking 30 or even 50 km was just a walk in the park for him. In the last year, his hips started giving out it's been one of the most difficult things he's had to leave behind. He still goes out for a walk around the block every day, just one step at a time, with a crutch under one arm and a cane in the other. Seeing him hobble down the street, I can completely relate to his determination as our own time feels the most grounded somewhere on a hiking trail. I'm also very blessed having someone to share that passion with and we're both looking forward to the day when the trails reopen after the current pandemic.
When I saw this spot, I knew what kind of image it would be.

This photograph was composed while hiking Mt. Asama, the highest mountain in Ise-Shima National Park, and an active volcano. The image was intended to portray why 'Forest Bathing' is so popular in Japan. Forest bathing is a favoured activity in Japan, particularly for 'salarymen' (or women) suffering from work-related stresses. It is recognized that taking time to enjoy nature, and particularly forests such as pictured here that are dappled with light, will settle emotions and allow people to return to work with re-energized spirits.
Exhausted. All the hardwork of creating a species list of all the animals, plants and fungi on land ownwd by HRH Prince Charles and the Duchy of Cornwall who plan to build a housing development and destroy an area of immence biodiversity is over. The list has been sent to the RSPB, Kent Wildlife Trust, The Soil Association, Helen Whately MP, Swale Borough Council Planning Technicians, The Times and Sunday Times, Sir Bob Geldof and of course the Duchy of Cornwall and Prince Charles at that is all I do. The meeting with the D.O.C and all those invested organisations and individuals will be later this month were I will be presenting the list and asking questions to the Head of Development D.O.C their site manager, ecologist and Landscape Engerneer. Until then, time to rest and relax.....

第一天上立山，就遇到了大白牆，所以也不知道哪來的動力，索性徒步從彌陀之原走到了弘法 七曲這裡~
沿途，我們從草叢裡，馬路上這樣來來回回的穿梭著，在看到這一幕的時候，腿其實一隻是鐵的，一隻是軟的..............
但至少，見識到，這傳說中的七曲啊........

碎碎念時間 ~
弘法這個地名原由是很久以前的事了，傳聞，是當時的高僧弘法大師在這裡將拐杖向地上穿刺後，有清水從該處如泉湧般般源源不絕冒出來的傳說因而得名。另外這裡也有弘法小屋的遺跡，在當時是做為登上立山前用來休憩過夜的山小屋，而七曲則是在高原道路通行後，因為沿途蜿蜒轉彎處特別多，因而得名~
The term “Forest Bathing” originated in the 1980s from Japan. Originally called Shinrin-Yoku, the concept was that by experiencing the forest through your five senses it helped connect you back to the natural world.
The national park consists of wild forest over rugged terrain. The national park covers 2,030 hectares (5,000 acres). At the beginning of the Middle Ages, the forest of Tiveden was a hiding-place for outlaws, who took refuge there.

We are in transition!
Soon the leaves will have turned colour and will have dropped - all beautiful phases of the forest!
Where there is rain there is also cleansing. Remember this when you’re trying to protect your soul amidst the storm. - Alfa

In the wake of a refreshing rainfall, the Troodos mountains unveil their enchanting mystique, shrouded in a delicate veil of mist. As the sun begins to peek through the wisps of fog, it casts a soft, ethereal glow upon the lush, verdant forest below. Towering pine trees stand proudly, their branches adorned with glistening droplets of water, reflecting the gentle rays of light like a myriad of diamonds. The damp earth emanates an earthy aroma, invigorated by the recent downpour, as the mist swirls and dances among the moss-covered rocks and fern-filled crevices. A sense of tranquility permeates the scene, inviting one to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of nature's embrace amidst the Troodos mountains after the rain.
