Today's Foto "Trip, Journey and Cruise"



We went to the cruise in Oita Prefecture. Then I took some photographs for post. This is a photograph where the moss grows in stone bridge. The place is side bridge of Jion watefall, Amagase-cho, Oita, Japan. I pushed the shutter feeling that an orange moss was unusual. An unexpected fact came to light when this orange moss was examined. The scientific name is Trentepohlia aurea. This is not the mosses but algae. They might live because the spray of the waterfall always falls in the bridge. A lot of mosses and algae have grown because Kyushu is rainy much and is abundant water. I pasted this photo to the top because orange was beautiful. And, I like moss and alga. A new civilization building is rotted by them...





A lot of bridges built with such a stone exist in Japan. Because the fog from the waterfall is always sprayed as for this bridge, it is covered with the moss. The mist enter lungs from our nose. And, to a dry body, Provide moisture.





This is over view of the Jion waterfall. "Ji" is a meaning of affection and the benevolence that is the basic philosophy of the Buddhism. "On" is a meaning of the favor and the kindness that is teaching the Buddhism. The waterfall is worshiped as a sacred symbol in the Buddhism.



In Shintoism, the pillar in a white waterfall is a symbol happy because the dragon seems to rise.



You can walk back in the waterfall. To our regret, there is no hideout of the bandit in the interior of a secret door. There is just a secret door on the back side of the waterfall. There having bandit's hideout inside.



It is a day at all not fine. It sometimes small rains.



We came near to drive-ins because we were hungry. The restaurant name is Kasuga. There have some Japanese style noodle (Udon) and rice (Kamameshi) menu. The special product in this place is a bean curd (Tofu). At the Japanese style restaurant, green tea is put on the change of water free of charge.
