Half Hearted – Day 183 of Project 365
The following is info about today’s picture, taken from the story below. “About an hour after leaving Jomon-Sugi, I arrived at “Wilson’s stump” a huge stump that is all that remains of a huge cedar tree felled about 400 years ago. The stump is hollow and you can go inside and walk around. Looking up you can see the sky and tree canopy from neighbouring trees. If you stand in one exact spot and look up, the stump forms a heart shape. It is truly amazing. Today’s shot was candid. I had just found the spot where the heart can be seen, when a couple came in and looked up. I snapped one shot and knew it was a going to be a nice shot. The light was filtering into the stump and just hitting them slightly”.
Today was day 3 of the hike. I woke up around 6am and got breakfast going on my little stove. I think I brought a few too many gas canisters for it as I had only used about ¾ of the gas in on canister and had 2 full canisters sitting in my backpack., but better to have too many than too few. The hike today would be easier than the last two days (according to the guidebook) but it was very long. It would see me descending from the mountains and arriving at the coast. The early morning rain had stopped by the time I had packed up my things so the wet weather gear went back in my bag. Just before I left the mountain hut, a family of monkeys decided to show up and say hello. This meant my camera had to come out and my 70-200mm F4 saw some more action. Glad I brought the lens as shooting wildlife with a 17-40mm isn’t any fun (the extra weight was fun either though). I finally got going around 8am and got into my stride. I had managed to get some blisters along the way (something I very rarely get when hiking) so they were a little uncomfortable as I descended.
I caught up to the three guys I had shared the mountain hut with just before we got to Jomon-Sugi. This tree is the biggest and oldest cedar tree in Japan. It is thought to be between 2800 and 7200 years old. The tree is huge. It has a very weathered look (so does anything that is so old). There, the tea ceremony guy performed a tea ceremony for the Jomon-Sugi. After a few photos I pressed on.
As I made my way down the mountain on the little wooden walkways that had been put there, I encountered a bit of a problem. The sheer number of tourists that were coming up the trail was immense. This really slowed me down as I had to wait for them all to pass me. This became very frustrating at times as I would sometimes be waiting for a few minutes at one spot for some very slow walkers to come passed me, only to walk a few minutes and encounter another herd of tourists. All of these walkers were on the day hike to Jomon-Sugi. It made me chuckle when I saw so many of them wearing full waterproof gear even though there was no rain. The sweat was pouring off them. I envied their tiny daypacks though.
About an hour after leaving Jomon-Sugi, I arrived at “Wilson’s stump” a huge stump that is all that remains of a huge cedar tree felled about 400 years ago. The stump is hollow and you can go inside and walk around. Looking up you can see the sky and tree canopy from neighbouring trees. If you stand in one exact spot and look up, the stump forms a heart shape. It is truly amazing. Today’s shot was candid. I had just found the spot where the heart can be seen, when a couple came in and looked up. I snapped one shot and knew it was a going to be a nice shot. The light was filtering into the stump and just hitting them slightly.
I finally made it down to the tram line section which was built a number of years ago to take the felled trees out of the forest. It is disused now and serves as a good path for the tourists. I met two of the three guys from the hut again and chatted with them for an hour or so as we walked down the tram tracks. We said good bye and I headed into a section of forest that is supposedly the setting for one of Japans most famous anime movies, “Princess Mononoke”. This area of forest was incredible, with huge tree stumps everywhere. Moss covered almost everything and it looked like a fantasy world.
I finally made it out of the forest and to a bus stop at around 5pm. Most people then take the bus back to the nearest town on the coast but I wanted to walk the entire traverse so decided to take a footpath that would lead me to a small road, which would lead me to the ocean on the northern part of the island. The footbath was very steep and all the rocks were very wet and slippy. It was slow going but I was determined to walk the whole way. At around 7pm I finally made it to the coastal road and then had a couple of kilometers walk to the campsite. After asking a few people for directions I got to the rough location of the campsite. By this time it was dark. I found the sign post and walked up to “Oceanview
Dawn Balloon Flight Over Orlando, Florida.
