Damn, I thought it was getting warmer.

Last weekend of October I was wondering where to go, so I went to Kamikochi. This view was waiting for me when I arrived at 5 am by express bus on Friday night. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunrise, but in the fantastic fog, the Hotaka mountain range gave us a glimpse of our faces.

It is the Northern Alps covered with snow in late autumn. It is a sight seen from a mountain trail called the Shimono Corridor that straddles Toyama and Nagano prefectures. This mountain trail is made by carving out a precipitous cliff, and the mountains seen from it are steep and beautiful. It is a scenery where you can feel winter and autumn at the same time.

Autumn leaves from the mine road, which is a mountain trail to Mt. Sekikuradake in the Northern Alps. The autumn leaves of the Northern Alps are famous, but I personally think that Mt. Yukikura is more beautiful in color! The autumn leaves that glow in the backlight are my favorite natural color.
