The Hida Mountains, or Northern Alps (Kita Arupusu), is a Japanese mountain range which stretches through Nagano, Toyama and Gifu prefectures. A small portion of the mountains also reach into Niigata Prefecture. William Gowland coined the phrase "Japanese Alps" during his time in Japan, but he was only referring to the Hida Mountains when he used that name. The Kiso and Akaishi mountains received the name in the ensuing years.
The layout of the Hida Mountains forms a large Y-shape. The southern peaks are the lower portion of the Y-shape, with the northern peaks forming two parallel bands separated by a deep V-shaped valley. It is one of the steepest V-shaped valleys in Japan. The Kurobe Dam, Japan's largest dam, is an arch dam located in the Kurobe Valley in the central area of the mountains. The western arm of mountains, also known as the Tateyama Peaks, are dominated by Mount Tsurugi and Mount Tate. The eastern arm, known as the Ushiro Tateyama Peaks are dominated by Mount Shirouma and Mount Kashimayari.
If all else fails turn the right wheel. The parallel universe is only a decision away!

Barred windows protecting the Divinity School, a medieval building and room in the Perpendicular style in Oxford, where it forms part of the University there. Built between 1427 and 1483, it is the oldest surviving purpose-built building for university use, specifically for lectures, oral exams and discussions on theology. It has also featured in several scenes in the Harry Potter series of films
In the midst of movement and noise, there’s a silent space where connection means sharing the road, not the conversation.

On the way to fly back to Japan, I found another airplane flying in parallel. It's the first time for me to see such a scene!

As colunas truncadas que se estendem em filas paralelas pelo vasto terreiro delimitam o que seria a sala de orações da Mesquita Hassan, em Rabat, Marrocos. A construção foi iniciada cerca de 1195 pelo califa almóada Abū Yūsuf Yaʿqūb al-Mansūr (Yacoub al‑Mansour), que ambicionava erguer a maior mesquita do mundo muçulmano ocidental, capaz de acolher cerca de quarenta mil fiéis. Com a morte do soberano em 1199, as obras foram abandonadas, deixando inacabados o minarete — a célebre Torre Hassan, visível ao fundo, com cerca de 44 metros de altura em vez dos aproximadamente 80–86 previstos — e centenas de colunas de pedra arenítica que nunca chegaram a sustentar a cobertura projetada. O terramoto de Lisboa de 1755 derrubou grande parte das estruturas remanescentes, reduzindo o conjunto ao estado atual. A torre, ornamentada com motivos geométricos entrelaçados em rede (sebka), constitui um dos exemplares mais notáveis da arquitetura almóada, partilhando o mesmo modelo tipológico dos minaretes da Giralda de Sevilha e da Mesquita Cutubia de Marraquexe. O recinto integra hoje o Mausoléu de Mohammed V e foi incluído, em 2012, na área classificada de “Rabat, Cidade Histórica” como Património Mundial da UNESCO.
The truncated columns that run in parallel rows across the vast courtyard delineate what would have been the prayer hall of the Hassan Mosque in Rabat, Morocco. Construction began around 1195 under the Almohad caliph Abū Yūsuf Yaʿqūb al-Mansūr (Yacoub al-Mansour), who aspired to build the largest mosque in the Western Muslim world, capable of accommodating some forty thousand worshippers. With the sovereign’s death in 1199, construction was abandoned, leaving the minaret unfinished—the famous Hassan Tower, visible in the background, standing about 44 meters tall instead of the planned 80–86 meters—along with hundreds of sandstone columns that never came to support the intended roof. The 1755 Lisbon earthquake toppled much of the remaining structures, reducing the complex to its current state. The tower, adorned with geometric motifs interwoven in a latticework pattern (sebka), is one of the most notable examples of Almohad architecture, sharing the same typological model as the minarets of the Giralda in Seville and the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh. The site now includes the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and was included in 2012 in the “Rabat, Historic City” area as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
