From Atop Xianggong Mountain 相公山
Yangshuo, China
Double Rainbow, The Snake River, Twin Falls, Southern Idaho, USA, 9 May 2026.😎
This serene river winds gently through a lush, green forest, framed by overhanging trees and a striking deadwood trunk on the left. The calm water reflects the moody, overcast sky above, which hints at impending rain or a peaceful evening ahead. The rugged stones scattered along the riverbed add a natural texture, blending with the soft foliage in the background. The scene feels untouched, offering a glimpse of the harmonious balance between earth and water, where time seems to slow down.

After the Storm, Kinomata River Falls Silent・嵐の前、静けさに包まれる木の俣川
A storm was rolling into the Kinomata Valley as distant thunder echoed through the forest. One by one, visitors hurried back to their cars, leaving the clear, gently flowing Kinomata River entirely to me and my border collie.
Fed by cold mountain water from the slopes of Mt. Megadake, the river revealed every stone beneath its surface. After weeks of enduring summer heat while commuting between Tokyo and Yokohama, this quiet stretch of water in the Nasu Highlands felt like a small piece of paradise; cool, calm, and far from the crowds!
