serene beauty



TAISHAKU-KYO ・LAKE SHINRYU
帝釈峡・神龍湖

17th May 2008

The sky was blue with a few fluffy clouds passing by in the distance and the sun shining brightly. The new leaves showing off their magnificant greens and the dry breeze keeping us cool and making us work harder to avoid drifting off course. It was a perfect spring day for a row on the famous Lake Shinryu in the beautiful surroundings of Taishaku. We enjoyed a leisurely walk through the forest under the canopy of leaves and soaking in the sunshine passing in between.



lunch time under the hot sun!

this is what Taishaku looks like in mid-winter just to give you an idea of how this amazing place literally transforms from complete dullness and bearness into a tranquil forest full of life
