In last week's “Scenes From Mountain Roads in Northern Kyoto” I showed a view from the road looking up a steep ravine (this pic) and a bit of detail of its carpet of ferns (this pic), and mentioned that I'd climbed up the steep ravine for more photos. This post is just a few, three shots taken from the same location halfway up the ravine, at different focal lengths...

The sense of elevation disappears at the longer focal length, but this is my favorite photo of the three.
