Step into a magical forest at Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
JAPAN // At Arashiyama's bamboo grove in Kyoto's west, nature wows with effortless simplicity. The tall green stems seem to have duplicated endlessly in every direction, and when a breeze rushes through, it all creaks and rustles - a sound that has been designated one of the '100 soundscapes of Japan'. Walking through the grove is like entering another world and there's an ethereal quality to the light. But go easy with the camera; it's a quality you won't fully capture in pictures.
