Over the September break, known here as Silver Week in contrast to the May Golden Week, we took a trip to Kikuchi Gorge and Mt Aso, with its active volcano. The day was overcast, not providing the best light for photography, but I think I succeeded to capture a few nice images here and there. Here is a photo of life in the crevice of black wet rocks in the coolness of the Kikuchi Gorge. The gorge is densely foliated and boasts a wonderful torrent of water that feeds into the Kikuchi River.
