#ThrowbackThursday

Here's another image from my first years of photography back in 2020! Fun fact - it's also my most stolen image :/ I've found it online being sold on everything from pillows to prints to even a real estate listing once. Suppose that's the reality of posting images online to a degree...

This image is of Hope Peak from the famous Three Sisters #Mountain range in #Canmore #Alberta. More in the alt.

Hiked along the slope of the Eastern Mountains of Kyōto (東山), first up to the little-known Himukai Daijingū (日向大神宮), a little Shintō shrine whose grandiose name borrows from the ancient and most-revered Ise Jingū after which its architecture is modeled. Then to the iconic Zen Buddhist temple Nanzenji (南禅寺), and along Philosophy Road (哲学の道) to the Silver Pavilion Ginkakuji (銀閣寺). Then as now there was a shortage of silver, even to the Ashikaga Shōguns, so the pavilion was never gilded, but with its similarlity to the Golden Pavilion Kinkakuji and topped by a phoenix, it is nevertheless charming. Sakura cherry blossoms at their best all along the way, with other spring flowers like magnolia and early-blossoming purple azaleas, made for a long and aesthetically pleasing hike.

Des virgules étaient venues envahir le ciel. Surprise de cette intrusion, la montagne se dressa tel un point d'exclamation.

Commas had invaded the sky. Surprised by this intrusion, the mountain rose like an exclamation mark.
