[The yellow leaves of larch are at their peak] In Minamimaki Village, yellow leaves such as larch are at their peak season. In particular, the yellow leaves of the mountains along the Chikuma River (Hirose ~ Kaijiri) are beautiful, and you can enjoy them from the Car window while driving on National Route 141. The area around JR Saku Hirose Station, which is also known as an unexplored station, was yellowed in a nice way. However, the yellow leaf peak is surprisingly short, and it seems that the leaves will fall all at once in the future.

It is Kansennuma, Hokkaido in autumn. The winter constellation Orion created autumn on the yellow-colored grass.

Autumn leaves and the purple gold mountain atlas comet In Hokkaido, autumn slowly turns color Autumn leaves were photographed in a composition that looked like a comet falling It seems that Comet Purple Gold Mountain Atlas will return in 80,000 years In other words, this is the last time you will be able to see this scenery and the comet at the same time When I thought about it, I felt somewhat lonely, as if I was saying goodbye to this life

Autumn Dusk and Purple Gold Mountain/Comet Atlas / I took this photo from a residential area in Gushi, Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture. It was covered by thick clouds, but a comet appeared through the clouds^^ The angle of the comet's tail that Shochiku Ume Plum is photographed in Hokkaido is different from Okinawa. Does that mean that the distance is that far away? I could see the comet's tail with the naked eye, so I Impression it for the first time since Comet Hale-Bopp^^ You can see Senaga Island in the middle and the runway of Naha Airport on the right. The mountain shadow in the back right is the Kerama Islands.

High in the sky, Mahi Yuru Autumn ☀️🐴 This morning's Nobeyama Highlands is just like 📡 that

"Summer Stars, Beyond Mt. Shichimen" Even though it was still hot during the day, the air became much cooler as the night wore on. A month ago, the Milky Way, the Great Triangle in summer, and the mountains to the west, which were directly above my head, are tilting faster and faster, and I can see that the direction of the triangle has changed compared to the time of Tanabata.

I took this photo when I traveled to Okinawa for the second time in my life. The Perseid meteor shower was just coming, and I was able to take a picture just now. In the northern part of Ishigaki Island, there were 📸 few private houses, which was perfect for taking pictures of the stars
