Trail of Tears State Forest
Union County Illinois
Photo taken on February 3, 2021
Constructed in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps and still in use. Shelters are used to provide overnight protection from the elements. The CCC built several of these shelters in this park and at many other parks across the United States during the 1930s and 40s. The shelters provide a place of solitude for hikers that travel through the area. Isolated from the rest of the park with access only by this gravel road that threads through the park. The bare winter trees makes for a lonely setting with the tall trees, a great place to connect with the forest.

Roots reach out like fingers from the base of the trunk, grabbing the soil between the valleys. They merge at the bottom of the hill. These roots are different, exposed from the loss of soil washed away after the rains sent little rivers flowing down the hill, carrying the dirt with it.

Trees growing along a bank tend to fall into the water a lot. As the log rest in the water, moss takes advantage of the situation and starts to cover its surface. One lone limb stick out, waving its arms to the passerbyers. Hey look at me I have a new green coat on my old bones. So I obliged the fallen log and took this picture.

A rather large boulder left in the stream bed. Probably rolled down from the weathered sides of the stream. This is called a ravine, which is a narrow steep sided valley commonly eroded by running water. These steep banks provide opportunity for eroded rocks to roll down to the bottom and create an interesting site for the eyes to feast. We know it hasn’t rolled for awhile because it has moss growing on its surface, almost glowing.

The water in the river rushing out of the swamp. Rocks like innocent bystanders watch silently. from the bank. A blue sky with wispy clouds. Tall trees scrape the top. The journey begins here On the way to Heron Pond to see the lily pads, the cypress trees with its heaps of knees, and the floating green duck weed.

It easy to take the gently flowing, rock bed, clear water, streams for granted. They look so natural, an expectation. A stream like this may already exist in your mind, a part of your DNA, before you see it in person. I’m bringing it to you, for you to become reacquainted with it.
下過雨的八甲田黃金線，清新卻也沉穩的味道，不斷的穿過櫸林間，飄放在周圍~
讓人突然想停下車漫步往前，細細品嘗這微潤的秋彩~

" ... Studies ... have demonstrated that exposure to nature positively creates calming neuro-psychological effects through changes in the nervous system. In addition, the level of the hormone serum adiponectin is also increased. When this hormone is present in low concentrations it is linked with obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome, among other bodily disorders. Every study conducted so far has demonstrated reductions in stress, anger, anxiety, depression and sleeplessness amongst the subjects who have participated. In Japan there are now 44 accredited Shinrin Yoku forests." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_bathing

This flat rock looks like it would provide a perfect place to put a chair, sit and enjoy the forest for a few. Freshly fallen leaves provides a perfect layer of newness to the forest floor. The green moss pokes through the leaves in spots breaking up the otherwise continuous flow of leaves on the floor. Exposed rocks stands tall in the background, glowing in places with its orange colored minerals embedded in the layers.

豊野南志賀公園線，其實就是長野県道66号公路，性質上，跟上合歡清靜的公路有點類似，而碰巧的昰，也會路過一個叫山田牧場的地方，跟清境農場不謀而合呢~XD
此次上志賀高原，特地不選大條又好走的292號公路，而選擇這條蜿蜒的山道，也就是想一睹這笠岳山腳下，難以忘懷的秋色~

之前有介紹過平床這個舊河床地帶，除了可以看到秋天蒼涼的濕地與丘陵上的白樺林輝映著，而另一邊就是這個水果視角，平床上的292號公路了，其實結構很簡單，但樹林中滑出的蜿蜒公路卻很巧妙的提點了視覺的趣味感~

A peaceful scene along the Shut-ins Trail at Sam A. Baker State Park. A couple of large green are resting with their feet up and their long necks stretched out along the bank. A few smaller trees are wading in the calm crystal clear cool water. Long shadows span out across the calm pool of water.
即使天邊烏雲密布，我們還是可以，保持著愉快的心情，往有光亮的地方前進~

This is a nature reserve, it's not allowed to pick anything.
It's filled with anemone and lots of wild garlic.
The smell of garlic is quite something.
志賀高原292公路因為有著"日本公路最高點" 而著名，但其實海拔也只有2172公尺，如果在台灣就是很平常的山區道路了吧~
但也因為緯度高的關係，這條通往草津白根山的道路在初秋之時，就會開始進行通行管制了，因為入夜會結霜哪~
畫面是沿途的一個著名的休息站，横手山ドライブイン展望點對測的山谷，就像台灣的合歡山公路一樣，這裡的天氣真的變幻莫測，按下快門前，雲霧還在山頭，放下相機的時候，後頭的雲霧就整個蓋下來了~

補充複習： 十河田湖 瞰湖台展望台是一個夾在此湖的御倉半島與中山半島，可以俯瞰十河田湖中心位置的所在~
在這個位置，左側可以看到中山半島，而右側可以展望到畫面中的御倉半島~
雖然也可以一覽空曠廣大的湖面，但我反而喜歡可以一覽此湖半島美景的這個角度，總之是一個很有戲的展望點哪!~

A path through the woods of Oxford's Shotover Country Park, Oxfordshire.
Shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
Driving through the back roads of Vancouver Island's west coast, one cannot help but wonder at the overwhelming variety of frondescence in the rain forest. Standing at the side of the road to try and capture it in camera, I find myself drawn ever deeper to see and listen for what lies beyond my senses.
The narrator in Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven," had hoped that by reading books, he would be able to distract himself from his feelings of grief, that he would find "surcease of sorrow."
The world is a sorrowful place these days, and for so many different reasons. So I decided to take a long walk in some nearby woods yesterday, to "forest bathe," as the Japanese describe it. I sought to find "surcease of sorrow" from the world I was both experiencing and reading about, and this photograph (and some others I will share) was composed during this walk
I have found that there is nothing quite like the woods to bring me back to a peaceful center. It's not just about the fresh air; it's about a stillness that allows one's soul to catch up with one's body
沿著平床旁的公路慢步，夕照山巒的斜影，凸顯了整片山坡的秋彩，卻讓河床上那棵迷路的白樺樹顯得特別的孤單，好像兀自哼唱著曲調，等待著穿過漫長的冬日，迎接春日的新綠到來~

Escape the madness of concrete and tarmac and enter the world of trees and nature.
Let me know what think, I'd appreciate your comments and thoughts.

This is from last weekend!
We have been getting a lot of rain ever since, so posted this to remember what the bright sunshine looks like!
Waldbaden: Eintauchen in die Atmosphäre des Waldes.
In Japan gilt das Waldbaden bereits seit 1984 als anerkannte Heilmethode, um Krankheiten vorzubeugen. Spaziergänge im Wald senken Blutdruck und Herzfrequenz und bauen signifikant Stress ab. Das Zusammenspiel von Luft, Licht, Temperatur, Mikroklima und Feuchtigkeit und dem typischen Waldgeruch aus ätherischen Ölen von Moosen, Farnen und Hölzern wirkt auf den menschlichen Organismus gesundheitsfördernd. Blätter und Nadeln filtern zudem Feinstaub aus der Luft. Zusammen mit dem sinnlichen Genuss von Naturgeräuschen, Farben und Düften entfaltet der Wald seine heilsame Wirkung.
Forest bathing: Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the forest.
In Japan, forest bathing has been a recognized healing method to prevent diseases since 1984. Walks in the forest lower blood pressure and heart rate and significantly reduce stress. The interplay of air, light, temperature, microclimate and humidity and the typical forest smell from essential oils of moss, ferns and wood has a health-promoting effect on the human organism. Leaves and needles also filter fine dust from the air. Together with the sensual enjoyment of natural sounds, colors and scents, the forest unfolds its healing effect.

蔦七沼的個性不同，其中的菅沼跟長沼算是面積比較大的，但ㄧ直在想，菅沼到底有什麼特色，直到這個角度，才知道菅沼還有這棵沉木作為招牌ㄚ~
再上幾天班就放大假了，大家努力加油!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

沿著66號縣道一路往上，與志賀高原主幹道292號公路銜接的地帶，就是平床了，這一區域其實著名的，是到冒著白煙的平床大噴泉，是1991年湧出的新源泉，帶有硫黃的氣味瀰漫四週，雖是溫泉地帶，但其實吸引我的，反而是這裡類似溪流沖積而成的河床濕地地形，加上豐富的植物種類，在這個季節，瞬間換上了不同的色彩樣貌~目不暇給啊!

志賀高原位於長野縣東北部，是火山活動形成的高原地帶，地勢起伏，遍佈著 70 多個水池和沼澤。春、夏、秋之季 500 多種高山植物爭奇鬥豔，這些可愛的植物給遊人增添了一份恬靜與閒適。
山下大晴天，山上大白牆~(掩面)
但老實說，也多了一點點的蒼涼的浪漫與遐想~
若不是偶有相遇的健行者，當他們的熊鈴聲遠去之時，身處在偌大的濕原裡，還真的有一種被世界遺棄的小惆悵哪!

This photo was shot in the forest on the Oregon coast. Actually I was hunting some mushrooms there, and came across this tree. I was so attracted to the tree and started shooting photos.
