A Walk Up The Nisshiki River Valley in Late November

 

After crossing over into the narrow Nisshiki River valley, by route to the next temple was along its banks, further north into the mountains of Yamaguchi.

There is a small dam downstream from where I reached the river, so the river is a little wider than iy would be naturally...

It's a glorious day.... my favorite time of the year in Japan

The still waters make for great reflections....

Another ten kilometers of this and I will arrive at the next pilgrimage temple....

The pack I am carrying feels lighter when surrounded by beauty...

The fact that the next ten kilometers will be virtually flat also helps..

The previous post was on earlier in the day walking up the Tonda River
