This is the view from the Ohirayama Observatory in Tochigi City. Many cumulonimbus clouds occur in the Kanto Plain below! I was planning to photograph the Kanto Plain, which is full of blue skies and spreads far away. As expected, there were so many clouds.

Utsunomiya Futarasan Shrine festival also returned The cheers of the children are fun

July 23: Onuma Park in Nasushiobara I went to photograph the summer marshland. Since it is near a tourist spot, I thought that many tourists would come, Almost no one came, and you can take pictures of the great outdoors as much as you want! Although it was bad, I put out three photos that I liked. Long exposure with ND filter makes the water surface smooth, I dared to take a fluffy picture of the grass with subject blur. I don't know if that's good, but I'm complacent. It's the Great Swamp hidden gem in Shiobara!

Yuzo Yamamoto was born in 1887 Meiji 20 in Tochigi Town now Tochigi City, Shimotsuga District, Tochigi Prefecture. After graduating from high school, he was sent to work as an apprentice and worked as a kimono merchant in the family business, but he continued to have a desire to learn and entered the first high school. Then, I entered the Department of German Literature at Tokyo Imperial University. He started out as a playwright in the middle of the Taisho period, and entered the world of novels at the end of the Taisho period, publishing many works such as "The Wave," "A Woman's Life," and "The Truth One Road." In particular, the national work "Roadside Stone" impressed many people. It is one of the best three novels of my lifetime. If you haven't read it, please read it. The Yamamoto Yuzo Furusato Memorial Hall is located near his birthplace, and Kinryuji Temple, where his grave is located, is next to the east.

It is located right next to "Uzuma Park" along the Hamami River that flows through Tochigi City. A stone that is said to have been washed away by a flood in the Edo period is enshrined as a sacred body. In addition to protecting against the plague, it is loved by the local people as "Pimpin Korori no Koshin-sama" so that you can live a healthy life. It's a hidden gem.

In the morning, on my way home from work, according to the float hall in Tochigi City, a small but beautiful sunflower was in bloom. It is perfect for sunny periods in the rainy season. My heart cleared.
