River, Trees, and Mountains

Still more cherry trees. On Friday, the students set out to pick up garbage along the roads in the area as a community service. Some students told me about a bridge with a great view just off of the main road to school. On my way home, I stopped by and took a few pictures. I go over three bridges on the way to school. All cross rivers with many sluice gates for the acres and acres of rice fields. When I see this river, not only do I enjoy the natural beauty, I perceive the source of many livelihoods and the span of generations of farmers.
