Having seen the North Alps from Matsumoto, I wanted to get a closer look, and managed to
negotiate the train system to arrive in Hakuba around lunchtime.  As is often the case in alpine
areas, the mountains looked a lot closer than they actually were, and I had a long walk from
the train station to what had been the ski-jumping station for the Nagano winter Olympics.  The
walk turned out to be for the best, as is often the case.  If I had taken the bus, I never would
have seen the little side road that led to a mountainside shrine, where this huge tree stood as
a sentinel at the stairs leading to the shrine itself.  The left-hand-twisted rice straw rope
around the tree indicates the presence of the spirit.  The sign nearby indicated that the tree
was a thousand years old, which was easy to believe.  It's a wonderfully peaceful, hallowed
spot.

As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would like
to order unframed prints,
go to the "Purchase" page
for pricing.
