Saturday 6th October - The title is pretty self explanatory, I went on a walk, with, wait for it, waterfalls. Once again I had been blessed with a fantastic day for it, and as I was feeling in a particularly photographic mood I borrowed Craig’s rather awesome camera for the morning, as he was still unable/not allowed to do strenuous physical activity
Bright and early at 9am I met Hiromi and Omori-san at the Sogo centre along with a fair few other people at the Sogo centre to get the bus up to the start point at the top of the mountian. Of course we’d only be walking down the mountain to see the waterfalls, what kind of fool walks up! Despite having seen this several times before, I was surprised to see that almost everyone taking part was on the northern side of 50yrs+ All of whom looked like they are prepared to trek through the wilderness, kitted out with walking sticks and hydration packs. Only so much I can say about the walk, it was a really nice day, very calming, beautiful scenery. Only upset was that in my desire to get a better photo I caused a minor landslide onto the unsuspecting pensioners below me, which cut some poor old mans leg quite badly. I felt pretty awful about it, seems he took it in his stride and forgave me thankfully. Either that or no-one ever found out it was me…
I adored having Craig’s camera for this. And very thankful for the 10x zoom, I genuinely considered getting a similiar “proper” camera, but I eventually decided against it. The convenience of being able to carry a camera with me at all times cannot be underestimated. Photo album for the day.
