What can I say, I’m just here for the moss.

A small hokora (miniature shrine) nestled beneath a magnificent moss-covered boulder, its verdant coating speaking to centuries of patient growth. White paper shide hang from a sacred shimenawa rope strung across the rock face. An informational plaque stands beside the weathered stone shrine, while the thick cushion of moss transforms the ancient rock into a living, breathing tapestry of green.

The iconic pine-lined pathway of Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views. Ancient Japanese black pines arch gracefully over the sandy walking path that traverses this natural sandbar. Dappled sunlight filters through the gnarled branches, creating a play of light and shadow along the legendary bridge to heaven. Blue and white barriers mark the edges of this storied pathway, where thousands of windswept pines have stood sentinel for centuries across Miyazu Bay.

A chozuya (purification fountain) with seven bamboo ladles resting on a bamboo pipe, water flowing from a dragon-headed spout. The basin and surrounding stones are covered in lush moss—a hallmark of Japanese temple and shrine gardens. A traditional stone lantern stands among the moss-covered rocks in the background, creating the serene aesthetic these sacred spaces are known for.

A traditional Japanese building with classic tile roofing sits beside a small footbridge spanning a stone-lined waterway along the Yamanobe no Michi. This ancient pilgrimage path in Nara prefecture is considered Japan’s oldest road, connecting various shrines and temples through the region. The steep, forested hillside rises behind the structure, while the stream flows through its moss-covered stone channel below.

Good job everyone, we solved the DDoS-for-hire problem!

Cloudflare now seeing yet-another record, at >22 Tbps. Only 40 seconds so quite likely to be a power proof / marketing material for the #DDoS-for-hire service operators; but we have a serious botnet centralization issue on our hands.
