Imagining 1500 Years Ago2011.12.14

It's very fine today. We felt small earthquake again this afternoon. Somehow just before those earthquake I can hear the sound that the land is moving..... It's been warmer than usual and I wonder if the land here is getting some heat from its movement, but of course it's an amteur's view : )

Anyway, I went to the hill to see the view. Every time I stand here, I could imagine how the people 1500 years ago came to this vally to find a place to live and start making paper for their living.
