1. Until It All Comes Undone by Anonymous [E, 38k]

#おでかけ #郡上八幡

お腹を満たした後は吉田川沿いをぶらり散歩。

日差しがきつくて日なたはめちゃくちゃ暑いんですが、日陰はやっぱり涼しい。まあでも川沿いに日陰があるのも一部だけで、大部分は夏の日差しが容赦なく照りつける道です。

川には釣り人の姿がぽつぽつ。釣果はどんなもんですかね？

これぞ日本の山あいの観光地！というような風景。昔から生活用水として利用されていた湧き水スポット、宗祇水のすぐ横の道です。

吉田川に注ぎ込む小駄良川には川遊びファミリーがたくさんいました。小さな子でも比較的安全に遊べるスポットのようです。
