Abashiri Tourist Association. The day after tomorrow, the drift ice breaker "Aurora" will start operation from January 20. The drift ice season has finally arrived! You can enjoy it until early March. Please come to Abashiri, the city of drift ice.

I wanted to visit "Ogawa Falls" in Minamiosumi Town, Kagoshima Prefecture once. The road to the destination is well maintained, and a beautiful river is already flowing from the hassle. When you arrive, you will see a crystal clear emerald green waterfall that will take your breath away. I thought it was a process, but even when I saw it raw, it was this color. When I went, it was a great day to shoot. It seems that if it is sunny, the amount of water is not small and the color does not develop beautifully, and if it is cloudy, the light does not enter well and it does not turn the original emerald color. If it rained the day before, it would be cloudy. The best photo opportunity is when various conditions overlap! By the way, it seems that a sunny day after a few days ago was rainy! It was a wonderful waterfall worth seeing.

It is a huge banyan located on Mt. Oishirinyama in the northern part of the main island of Okinawa. There are four trekking courses on Mt. Oishirin, one of which is the "Ogan Banyan" on the "Banyan Course". The tree is about 200 years old and is said to be the largest in the Japan around the canopy, and it seems that quite a few celebrities come here. Its size is overwhelming.

Autumn leaves illuminated in Showa Kinen Park. The ginkgo trees are famous Japan but the autumn leaves reflected in the pond in the garden are also beautiful.

At Sogenji Temple in Okayama City, you can enjoy the fantastic beauty of the weeping cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring reflected in the pond.

This photo was taken one year ago on February 19. It was near the end of bloom, and I was running hard to find the living cherry blossoms. It was raining at that time, so it was hard to take pictures. This year, it seems to be blooming from the beginning of January. In Okinawa, cherry blossoms bloom in winter, and when cherry blossoms are needed, they are already scattered and become just trees. I wish it would bloom around April lol.

I often drive to Senaga Island. I took this picture because the sunset was beautiful. I remember the orange light of the setting sun was so strong that it was dazzling.

This is a photo taken when I went to Ojima Island in Okinawa with my family. I took this photo in the autumn season, but it was hot like summer and I thought that Okinawa has only summer and winter. smile

I took a picture of Manzamo that I went to with my family. Although it is a famous spot in Okinawa, it was my first time to go there, so I was drawn in by the wide and deep blue color. Even Okinawans wanted to watch it for a long time.

Snowy landscape of Shirakawa-go.

I photographed Nikko Mt. Mentai from Yaita City, Tochigi Prefecture. Unfortunately, the weather is bad, but there is a band of light coming in from between the clouds. It was beautiful. This is the view from the observatory near Happogahara.
