View From The Top

This is Yakumo Jinja (shrine) located in the center of Motegi. Rice plants harvested in autumn are hung on the left side of the building. 
I climbed up to the top of a mountain to enjoy good landscapes. When the weather conditions are good in the early winter morning, a fog covers the ground and you can see the sea of clouds with mountain tops which look like islands.

Though the town is in mountains, the land was cultivated widely to make rice fields. These greenhouses are probably for growing strawberries.
I wish you health and happiness in the new year.

    Hello rtc, In Taiwan also, temples and shrines are often built on mountaintops, which provide a contemplative atmosphere. In the U.S. mountaintops are more likely to be left natural, or to have memorials or monuments built, as the high position makes them readier to view and elevates their importance.

    I love the temples and shrines in Japan. It's been so long since I've been there. And that view is spectacular. Quite a climb! (Thanks for stopping by my blog!)

    Que panorâmicas incríveis! Grata por tão especial partilha!
    Votos de um feliz 2021, com saúde, para si e todos os seus! Esperando que até ao fim deste ano, tudo melhore gradualmente, com as campanhas de vacinação!... Por aqui, creio que se irão processar de uma forma lenta... mas vamos ver o que acontece!... A realidade, parece sempre ser bem mais criativa, do que qualquer coisa, que às vezes podemos pensar!...
    Tudo de bom! Feliz 2021! Um grande abraço!
    Ana
