Mount Ōfuna

Mount Ōfuna is a mountain in Japan. It is 653.1 meters high. There's a small shrine on the top for monks. A long time ago, there was a Buddhist temple near the top, but it's not there anymore.

I like walking to the tops of mountains. Being at the top of a mountain makes you feel closer to the grand powers of the universe. And closer to the sky.

And closer to yourself. Being at the top of a mountain makes you feel closer to yourself. After all, when you really think about it, we are all mountains. We are all mountains in Japan.


Ants have mountains in Japan too.

Split Mountain (Sierra Nevada)

Split Mountain (Sierra Nevada) is a 14,064-foot mountain in the Sierra Nevada range in California. It has twin summits. That's why people call it Split Mountain.

Sierra Nevada is also a beer. I don't really like it. But I do like beer in general.


Everything's blue and fake from the top of Split Mountain.
