如絲縷般的淃白，穿過了金色的秋林，依稀聽見林間還有小孩們奔跑追逐的嬉鬧聲，記憶就這樣回到了那個作業還沒寫完的下午，只因為，庫存實在壓太久了..........

氣溫突然又驟降了~(抖)

大家記得要保暖ㄚ!

青森縣, 十和田市, 奧入瀨溪流，石ヶ戶之流 ~

A boardwalk runs beside this delightful little stream right near the accommodation. The walk is only supposed to take 20 mins but our record so far is 2-1/2 hours!

There is always so much to see among the beautiful greens while indulging in a little Shrinrin Yoku - literally "Forest Bathing".

A nice waterfall in the Whyte Creek along the trail to Whyte Lake in West Vancouver.

Forest Bathing is a powerful antidote to the pressures of the modern world, proven to deliver lasting benefits to your physical and mental wellbeing, and creating within you a profound connection to nature.

Nelson River Waterfall beside the Lyell Highway in South West Tasmania.

There's a short walk beside the creek through lush rainforest to the waterfall.

Once again, I stuck with colour for the greens in this lovely little pocket of forest :-)

Cropped the frame to 3:4 as the boulders in the FG were not doing anything... being photographed notwithstanding...

Fuji X-T5, XF 16-50mm f/2.8-4.8, 1.1 secs at f/5.6, ISO 200. NiSi 6 stop ND, FL ~50mm

A top-down perspective that excludes the horizon, isolating only what is beneath my feet: the tall grass and the ground. I focused on the visual camouflage between the green fabric and the vertical lines of the vegetation, using a POV framing to capture the physical weight of standing on the earth. This is my photographic take on Shinrin-yoku—an instinctive shot that freezes the exact moment my steps pause, and my legs visually become human roots.

今晚的微涼，讓偶想起了這兒深秋的寒意，如飛絮白羽，在亂石漱流之間，ㄧ陣一陣的沁透到心中~

青森縣, 十和田市, 奧入瀨溪流，石ヶ戶之流 ~

熊熊想到~龍泉溪的季節又到了XD

聽到同好前輩們徹夜未眠，只為掙得那僅可放置幾隻腳架的絕佳位置，突然發現，就像是繞境朝聖的活動，龍泉溪的斜射光，已經不再只是海景佛跳牆的美食比賽，而是一個攝影魂燃燒的精神象徵啊!

而我希望我還有那個熱誠..........

這兩天的好天氣，真的讓人出門時會一邊旋轉一邊歐齁齁的傻笑呢(而且是含淚~因為要上班啊!)

但好像明天晚上，氣溫就會像這樣溜滑梯的流水一樣下降~ 復雜的心情，又湧上來了，別脫太光~大家記得要做好保暖的準備啊!

Say that 5 times quickly :-)

Inside the famous bamboo grove at Arashiyama on the western outskirts of Kyoto, Japan.

There were hordes of folk doing a very good impression of a milling throng so finding a shot without a selfie stick in it was a challenge.

That said, despite the number of people it was surprisingly tranquil in the grove and all were on best behaviour.

Leica Q2 Monochrom, Summilux 28/1.7, 1/640th sec at f/1.7, ISO 200

The swimming pool of the Misato Elementary School Mitsukoshi Branch. Now abandoned.

As the countryside depopulates and Japan's population decreases, little hamlets loose their schools. A common theme in many countries.

The Kumano Kodo trail walks right past the old school's main entrance and the pathway there has been paved in flagstones - clearly the Kumano Kodo was important to past students. The small Shinto shrine of Mizunomi-oji is right beside the ruins as well.

We'd been walking in overcast and thick shade when the light opened up and revealed this little backlit scene of the abandoned swimming pool.

I also shot this with the Leica but this landscape version from the Ricoh won the argument (this time). The colour version is pretty stunning as well but saving that up for a while.

Ricoh GRiii, 18.3mm f/2.8 GR lens, 1/800th sec at f/2.8, ISO 200

Loggers see dollar signs in these trees but when standing in the shadow of giants, one cannot help but get a sense of irony with each of us - a small presence time wise, but an overwhelming impact on the environment. Old forest trees have wood that's stronger and denser than 2nd generation growth as well as more trees per hectare - making them a prime target for the chain saw. "However, old-growth trees are more valuable standing when factoring in the economic and intrinsic benefits for tourism, scenery, recreation, wildlife, clean water, wild salmon, endangered species, carbon storage, and First Nations cultures." ancientforestalliance.org/ancient-forests/common-question...

The patchy light made exposure here a bit tricky and I didn't like the two boards next to the tree, but overall, I think it does convey the sense of awe one feels in this place.

A cranky specimen of the quite rare Eucalyptus risdonii (Risdon Peppermint) seen here beside the Birthday Loop MTB track in the Meehan Range on Hobart's outskirts.

The Range hosts a mountain bike park that is very popular with the locals. The Birthday Loop is one of the easier trails on top of Simmons Hill but it runs through a very special little bit of forest. It is very peaceful there.

The ground is desperately poor, nothing but sandstone and the odd lump of dolerite or clay but the open woodland is very special. The track itself is just to the right of the tree - one can see how barren the ground is.

E. risdonii will likely become an increasingly dominant eucalypt species as the earth continues to heat up. It is tough as nails.

More finds from the past found at home in the forest on our property.

Lying on the ground quite a lot just now with all the fungi that is around.

蔦七沼的美，就像是七個不同性格的女孩，各有各的風格與韻味~

相較於蔦沼的成熟蕭瑟，鏡沼的小巧可愛，長沼個子雖大XD，卻就害羞婉約躲在密林中，非要穿過叢叢秘林，才在鏡中，甫見她的驚艷~

還說是好天氣，就這樣下起濕寒的冬雨了，禮拜一，祝大家上工順利!

Mixed results from the three cameras here - iPhone, Ricoh GRiii and the Q2M.

Have a top shot on the phone but it just missed focus and the Q2M didn't really deliver (missed focus twice thru operator error) so this one's from the Ricoh and it'll have to do!

Part of the wood, where I walk alot , this is the only open area of mature trees, but this place, has given me so much over the years and for that I am ever grateful.

Amid the recent COVID-19 virus pandemic and social distancing measures, it’s comforting that we can escape the insanity and safely isolate ourselves in nature without worry. This woodland scene is from one of my favourite woodland escapes...beautiful Francis/King Regional Park, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC.

Francis King Regional Park is a 107-hectare park, nestled in rural Saanich. The woodland park is home to massive old growth forest including magnificent 500-year-old Douglas-fir trees. There is a vast network of woodland walking and hiking trails as well as a boardwalk loop trail for those with mobility issues, an ideal place for visitors of all abilities to explore nature.

The park gets its name from the surnames of James Francis whose father purchased the property in the 1840s and his good friend Thomas (the Skipper) King. James Francis was a lover of nature, refusing to donate his land to the city of Victoria as well as declining monetary offers from others to log the land. Thank goodness we have these beautiful gems in nature to enjoy especially during these times.

田の原湿原 ，其實並不是志賀高原的必備景點，在官網中也是一個往往會因開車快速通過而被忽略的地方，但因為她有著豐富的沼澤植物的生態，在秋天這個季節，反而像變身一樣，多了這浪漫的樣貌~
