Now that the weather is getting nicer again, I'm really looking forward to our trips to the parks and forests of our region. I can't wait to walk through some green nature again, to relax and to be inspired at the same time. One of my favorite parks is Kamoyama Park, which stretches across a mountain of the same name and which in addition to a lot of forest and some hiking trails, is home to a larger shrine complex.

I'm particularly impressed and charmed by the symbiosis that nature and the man-made shrine complex form out here, which has a slightly mystical, if not romantic, touch to it. When looking at the scenery, you are often all alone and you could quickly get the idea that time has started to stand still. Everything is in peaceful harmony and you are immediately invited to join in quietly. Whether off to the side or in the middle is up to you, but the main part of this show is played by someone or something else.

Here in the forest, you quickly feel transported to a completely different world or time. All of a sudden there is no trace of all the hustle and bustle and stress that was surrounding you just a moment ago. Within moments you manage to forget your everyday life and shake off your worries, and you are immersed in an almost magical world in which green clearly dominates as a color tone. And this green has such a calming effect that it is almost addictive. But at the same time, it also stimulates your own mind and imagination, and you suddenly feel really alive.

I' m already looking forward to our upcoming trips and hopefully I will get to report to you further. So check back soon for new impressions and pictures from the land of the rising sun.
