I wrote in yesterday's post about great T-Shirts for Kyoto's\nhot summer<\/a>, but took advantage of an even better situation today when I\nmade<\/span> a visit<\/span> to the Kuuya-taki Waterfall (\u7a7a\u4e5f\u6edd)<\/span> in western Kyoto. It was my<\/span> third visit,\nand I've posted about it at length before, such as\n“Finally Reaching the Kuuya-taki Waterfall in Western Kyoto<\/a>” last month.<\/p>\n\n

Anthony and I went with some friends from France, Anne and Yoshi, and\n10-year-old Nao. I have much<\/span> I want<\/span> to post, but lacking energy this\nevening I'll put just a few<\/span> shots.<\/p>\n\n

There was much less water than when I visited<\/span> last (which had been the day after we got smacked by a typhoon<\/span>). Compare\nthis shot<\/a> from then with this one from today:<\/p>\n\n

It's just as well because last time it was really painful to be under\nthe water... it felt like sledge hammers falling non stop on your head.\nThis time it was just fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

No, I didn't really climb the waterfall to the top, though the part I\ndid<\/span> climb was really easy, so perhaps someone with guts could have done it. Rather, I took a<\/span> path that had a chain<\/span> to help on the steep ascent, so it was really quite easy.\nReturning down by the same path was only slightly more worrisome... it's always easier to go up\nthan down.<\/p>\n\n

While we were there, I found<\/span> a pretty<\/span> nice lens tucked in a\nweather<\/span>-protected spot (tucked so well that perhaps that's why the owner\nwalked off without it). I've put notes in English and Japanese on Facebook and\nGoogle Plus about it, but I may<\/span> as well mention it here as well... if it's\nyour lens, contact me with the particulars.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
