Today I climbed a mountain 419.1m height. On some ridges, I had beautiful landscapes in autumn. Leaves around me have changed their colors to red or yellow, while green cedars are in lower mountains. Green fields on flat are rice ones already finished reaping.
This is the peak. I found an old stone triangulation marker used for making a map. Sunshine was quite warm.
Mountains are full of folklore stories. Long long ago, people believed mountain is a sacred place. This hall was built based on mountain worship. The inhabitants living at the foot of the mountain have handed down a legend that there was a sacred stone on this mountain shining brightly day and night without losing its light.
That view in your first photograph is lovely.
ReplyDeleteFolklore stories are always interesting, thank you for sharing this one here.
All the best Jan
Hello rtc, I love it when history melds with nature, as in your photos today. your story reminds me of that phosphorescent rock that glows in the dark, often carved with traditional charms such as lions or bats.

ReplyDeleteThe hike up was definitely worth the spectacular view! Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteDearest RTC,
ReplyDeleteNo doubt that was a lovely hike, not too high nor steep and with a lovely 'sunny' view down.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Beautiful and interesting place, I can see you warm and sunny, I have the window cold, wind and rain ...
ReplyDeleteGreetings.
That is a spectacular view comparable to the views in the area of the world I live in, the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm sure you'd feel right at home here with our mountainous terrain.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! I love legends - especially of mountains. Lovely writing, too. x Karen
ReplyDeleteQue lugar incrível!
ReplyDeleteAdorei as imagens! Não admira que se sinta que esse lugar seja sagrado... já que tanto nos aproxima do céu...

What an accomplishment for you to have climbed the mountain. What a beautiful view. I enjoyed hearing about the legend of the stone on the mountain.

I love the idea of a shining stone that never stops shining. I always enjoy walking up a mountain road, and the view from the top is an extra pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThat first view is so wonderful.
