I took a nice long drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway this past fall which is really nice drive at that time of year. I recommend it to anyone for sure. Otter Creek is a creek that follows the parkway flowing south and meets the James River where the parkway is. No one stopped to look at the creek but plenty stopped at the overlooks.

Stay at a temple in Koya-san was truly a treat. It was really quite and relaxing to do such a thing and highly recommend it for anyone traveling near Osaka. This is a walk that travels up to the mausoleum of Kobo Daishi who is the creator of Shingon Buddhism and one of the most revered religious person in the history of Japan. The walk though Japan’s largest gravel yard gets you to the mausoleum and it is a very interesting walk and it made me feel small. the trees are tall and straight, some have cables to keep them up.

Fushimi-inari taisha is truly is a great place to visit. I am sure anyone who goes to Kyoto in Japan has been here or read that it was in the top 3 places to visit for a tourist. Tourist groups go here with guides. the best time to go is as early as you can go. It is a shrine and their for is open all the time, you can go in the middle of the night if you want, also it is free. You can spend an entire morning hiking all the way to the top to see the entire shrine. The tori gates make a different atmosphere. It feels like it is providing me a tunnel the travel through these woods up the mountain. I have taken photographs here early in the morning with no one around and have gotten great colors. this time I was shooting with some black and white film and still enjoyed getting these results.

The Fushimi Inari-taisha is a shrine that is for the Fox god. The hike up is splendid if you can make it early where you see hardly anyone and its serine. It can be long so be ready though older people do it a lot as you will see heading up the mountain. The tori gates keep going up and up the mountain and the trail will follow through them. It is almost in everyone ones plans that is visiting the city of Kyoto to go here and see the thousands of them. This was my 3rd visit early in the morning.
