Back on the Nakasendo Trail

Self portrait...making sure I'm still walking
Plum tree...plums for umeboshi...sour from the get go
Yoshihige's woodblock print of Torii Toge, the highest pass on the Nakasendo
A beautiful day.  Hiking under a canopy of exploding colors of every shades of green imaginable with sunlight filtering through.
Going through a Red Pine Forrest.  Can't see the colors but a beauty.  Matsutake mushrooms grow under these pine trees.  Locals put up an official looking signs to close the trails during mushroom season to keep mushroom hunters from entering.
