來藏王，除了泡湯，當然也要來坐坐他們的纜車哪~

而且崇拜阿爾卑斯山脈的日本人還蠻愛纜車這種設備的，所以在這一區域，就建造了四條纜車路線：

一條是蔵王ロープウェイ　官網

A.山麓線（蔵王山麓駅～樹氷高原駅）可通往藏王樹冰高原，也是滑雪場。

B.山頂線（樹氷高原駅～蔵王地蔵山頂駅）可以通往藏王御釜池、熊野岳。(但這次山頂都被雲遮住了，所以沒有坐這條~)

一條是藏王スカイケーブル，（上の台駅～中央高原駅），這次去沒開~(泣)

一條是藏王中央ローブウェイ（温泉駅～鳥兜駅）~

頭都昏了~這麼多條~

但每條都可以從不同的角度，看見藏王溫泉或連峰這一帶的景色，就算在怎麼懼高，也要坐上去來個幾趟。

畫面上就是藏王中央纜車上看出去的視野，除了樹冰，原來藏王山麓的紅葉時節也是好壯觀~XD

I found this beautiful (huge!) Birch Polypore on my first fungi hunt of 2022. I fought my way through brambles and climbed up a steep hill to reach it, but it was worth it.

陰雨的天氣，繁忙的步調，好似穿越一個幽暗的深谷，悶得好想喘口氣，一直問什麼時候才會放晴，反而會更顯焦慮，姑且，不停的往前進唄~

也許一個轉彎，偶們就會看見那乍現的光芒吧...........

In 日本秋田縣，栗駒國定公園，小安峽，不動滝 & 薬師滝 ~

這裡可以用不解釋帶過了~

整個行程中，可以看見滿滿一排腳架的水果點，第一名就屬這個搶拍火車過山洞的鳴子峽大深澤橋吧!今年又適逢みのり五週年紀念，只要是這台黑色火車經過鳴子峽的時段，可以感受到原來日本人也有............別卡我位子檔我鏡頭的濃濃敵意..............

In 日本宮城縣，大崎，鳴子溫泉，鳴子峽~

還是要碎碎念啦: 日本紅葉百選名所之一的鳴子峽，流經鳴子溫泉鄉的江合支流大谷川，長年累月地蝕刻而成的一座大峽谷，佈滿急流沖刷出來的奇岩怪石和陡峭懸崖。開闊壯麗的景緻是陸奧數一數二賞楓景點，岩石與紅葉相輝映，超大的V字型峽谷，原始的紅葉與綠林交錯而生森林，長在峽谷的森林被染成五彩繽紛的景致，就是得天獨厚的美!(真的是得天獨厚，很妙的是，出了這個地帶~就沒有這麼壯麗的地勢搭配這滿山的奼紫嫣紅了~)

像打了一場大戰一樣，凌晨才從一級戰區回來~

先用這鮮麗而多彩的滿山艷色，祝福大家新的ㄧ年，事事順心!新年快樂!

Happy New Year!May everything go your way!

Best regards!

這.......想不吃標題來了.......

頂著毛毛細雨，走過在略帶泥濘的環湖步道，也許是人煙稀少~雁鴨看到偶們都害羞的迴避了，只剩蓋著雨霧的遠山靜靜的笑映著~

說是鴫沼~真的連半隻鴨都找不道哪~XD

日本山形縣，藏王，鴫の谷地沼步道。Shigi no yachinuma~

Lucky enough to have a back yard entrance to the woods like this.

掩面~已經打入庫藏股了~泣~還是硬著頭皮，後著臉皮PO吧~

白布瀑布的姿態，就像是掛在崖壁上舉木林間的白絹，從這一側的馬路上就可以看到對面的這條瀑布了~ 用這個正面的角度觀察他的樣子，真的像在看一幅畫般，乍看之下，會有一種上廁所不用擔心衛生紙不夠的安心感..............(汗)

即使是小小的瀑布，躲在這樣的秋色中，還是一點都沒辦法低調的~

得趕緊交卷先......(泣)

才知道，大家很有默契的，都來到這裡~(掩面)~

由於樹冰祭推銷的很成功，藏王算是諸多日本東北旅遊主題中，越來越受矚目的景點，也因此，飯店也是越蓋越多了~

走在這谷地沼步道，不見來往覓食的鴫鴨，只有湖畔旁的一片秋色裡，這兩棟飯店默默的探出頭來，在綿綿細雨中，深情的對望著..............

若不是遇上大好的晴天，偶們應該沒有機會一親紅葉川溪谷的芳澤，至於蝦咪原因，後面再娓娓道來~

一步出無人車站，步道開始的主角，藤花瀑布就像是盛放群花中的白凌，在滿是變色木的溪谷中閃閃發亮著~

日本山形山形市&宮城仙台太白区，奥羽山脈，面白山紅葉川溪谷，藤花の滝~

面白山，略懂日文的人應該都知道「面白」就是「有趣」的意思，而面白山名字的由來似乎也是跟某個有趣的自然現象有關~

一片金色的羽翼掩藏不住傲然的滝白~

突然想到這個布袋戲的人物名稱，還挺霸氣的，就拿來當作標題吧了~(掩面)

其實是想取名為霜降牛肉的..........

青森縣, 十和田市, 奧入瀨溪流, 白糸之滝~

長沼，顧名思義~就是形狀狹長的沼澤啦XD

因為這樣的形狀，環繞在這個湖畔的林間生態與景致也多了一種不同的層次~

就在這片林間小路中轉了好幾個彎後，便見這個沼澤，羞澀的躲在綴著片片彩葉的秘林後方~就好像，捉迷藏中的玩童，正悄悄的端看著一起遊戲的玩伴~~~~

Forest canopy above the Energy Trail at the Buntzen Lake Reservoir Park.

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.

呼~繼續用這滿山的亂彩，期待大家都有個精彩又豐富的新年哪!

氣溫突然又下降了~大家記得要保暖啊!來個溫暖又開心的週末假期優!

日本山形縣，藏王，鴫の谷地沼步道。Shigi no yachinuma~

鳴子峽為什麼總是楓葉百選的資優生，偶想這幾顆松樹也是不可或缺的功臣吧~

一點點山水潑墨的姿態，稍稍帶來一絲絲療慰心靈的力量~

恩.............或許把它當作是耶誕樹看也不錯~XD

禮拜四了~大家繼續乾巴茶~!!!!!!!!!!!

In 日本宮城縣，大崎，鳴子溫泉，鳴子峽~

One of my favorite walks.

這樣根本就是幫他打廣告吧~(飛踢)

ANYWAY，雖然他們住房設施似乎有點老舊，但餐點Buffet還真的不錯吃說~@@+有巧思~

禮拜五了，天氣也稍稍回暖些，祝大家有個愉快的週末~!

才剛上班就想下班了~(掩面)

早安! 非假日的清晨，伴著滿山楓紅的，只有空蕩蕩的湖面，還有靜靜讚岸邊發呆的鴨鴨人力船，一起屬著寂寥的蕭瑟~

就像是上工的禮拜一一樣，帶點微微的涼意以及，還想再睡飽一點的不甘阿!

空蕩蕩的步道，當然要搭個起個大清早的歐吉匠~

越是亮眼的秋色，越顯得將至的冬日寒風，有多刺骨~

但這裡的蘋果霜淇淋還真的不錯吃哪!祝大家有個愉快的週末假期! 晚安!

穿過了那片金色的櫸木林，蔦七沼的第一個沼澤就這樣映入眼簾了~

湖暗旁枯黃的芛草圍巾，旋繞著碧綠的湖水，倒映著落葉片片的秋色，斑斕的色彩伴隨著悠悠的鳥鳴，好似淒鳴著寒冬的到來~

也讓偶忘卻了鐵腿的疲憊~XD

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.....

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.

Where there is rain there is also cleansing. Remember this when you’re trying to protect your soul amidst the storm. - Alfa

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....."

Especially in this hot weather forest bathing is refreshing!

Lush green meandering forest paths , gurgling streams, tall trees and no vehicles, mobile phones, checking emails and crowds. perfect place for soaking up the nature.Rare opportunity for a city dweller like me

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.
