海の川「尾道水道」が織りなす風景 Scenery woven by "Onomichi Waterway", which is said to be the river of the sea

先週、「尾道・文化紀行」の取材で尾道を訪ねた。
尾道には数々の観光スポットはあるが、やはり、千光寺から眺める景色はサイコ～!

海の川といわれる「尾道水道」は、一日の時間帯や天候の変化で見える景色が変わる。
また、空と雲そして海と大地が織りなす自然のイルミネーションが絶景をつくりだす。

この美しい景色は、毎日登る人たちの桃源郷になり、また手を合わせる人の祈りの対象になっている。そして外から訪れた者には郷愁の風景になっていく。

Last week, I visited Onomichi for report on "Onomichi / Cultural Travelogue".
There are many sightseeing spots in Onomichi, but the view from Senko-ji temple is still the best!

Onomichi Waterway, which is said to be a river in the sea, changes the scenery you see depending on the time of day and changes in the weather.
In addition, the natural illuminations of the sky and clouds, and the sea and the earth create a magnificent view.

This beautiful landscape has become another world for people who climb every day and is also the subject of prayer for people who join hands. And for people who visit from the outside, it becomes a nostalgic landscape.
