【Climbing 👟 Shiraiwa for the first time in a long yellowtail】

From the 13th ~ 17th, the town road Honyashiki / Namiki Line became passable for both general cars, so I left my Car at the Gokase Highland Skiing Resort Skiing Center and climbed 💪 up to ShiraIwayama (rocky mountain)

The management road to the Skiing Resort is not passable for general cars, so we first aimed ✨ for the Burdockhata Trailhead on foot

After about 30 minutes of walking, we arrived at 💡 the Burdockhata Trailhead
From there, I climbed 😊 Shiraiwa for the yellowtail time in a long time

The Mountain Trail was bumpy at first, and but it was easy to walk and the weather was cool, so I was able ✨ to climb without much load
At the summit, we were able to exchange valuable Information and learn about 👍 the situation of neighboring mountains

There were many people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, and they were taking pictures while enjoying the sunflowers.
I photographed the sunset and sunflowers with my favorite digital camera, Papershoot. The beauty of this camera is that it expresses light in a good Ume plum.
The point of this photo is that in order to express the Scene and the dynamics of the sunflowers being gently illuminated by the setting sunflower, the camera was taken slightly below the height of the sunflower flowers and taken from a fanning angle.
