Shosenkyo

昇仙峡 shosenkyo

昇仙峡

Once upon a time, 1988 to be exact, I lived in Kofu, Japan for about eight months. I saw posters advertising Shosenkyo all over the place, but never got the chance to visit myself. 25 years later, I finally had the opportunity. Someday I need to go back and see it again with the autumn colors in full effect.

Redwood Highway (AKA Vacuum Route)

Orick Beach, California

If you’ve ever driven the road between Grants Pass, Oregon and Eureka, California, did you notice that you go through the towns of Kerby, Orick, and Eureka? Kirby, Oreck, and Eureka are three major vacuum brands. There is also a turnoff, near Selma, for Hoover Gulch. If you are going to start a new town along the Redwood Highway, I highly recommend picking a name like Dyson or Electrolux.

Today’s photo comes from the top of the Shosenkyo Ropeway (昇仙峡ロープウェイ). The body of water in the distance to the right is Nosen Lake (能泉湖), an artificial lake created by the Arakawa Dam.

While eating breakfast yesterday in the Overleaf Lodge, I noticed a photo on the wall that looked like it was taken right outside of our room. I tried to somewhat replicate the photo in what you see above.
