Mount Myoken, Kawanishi, Hyogo Prefecture.

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Very nice contrast between the light green trees and the dark interior of the forest, just like the famous "Black Forest" in Germany, home of the Cuckoo Clock!

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada

It is so strange to see green pine trees. All of our are dead. Millions of them killed by Mountain Pine Beetle.

@Michael Rawluk: That's shocking... what are the chances for recovery...?

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I like the sight of the pines.....might be "sugi" I guess. The older they get, the more impressive they are!

@Japanalia: They were very beautiful indeed.

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
