Sunser over Kamuriki-yama
戸倉上山田温泉は冠着山の麓で、千曲川沿いにあります。夏は太陽さんが沈み始まる時、まずは冠着山の裏に隠れます。そして、一度は山の方に顔を出してから、完全に沈みます。
その山と太陽の合わせのお蔭かどうか分かりませんが、時々にものすごく赤くてきれいなサンセットになります。夕べはそういう日でした。戸倉上山田温泉の上の雲が赤く光っていて、綺麗でした。
写真は下手ですが、提供いたします。
During the summer months here in Togura Kamiyamada Onsen, the sun takes a mischevious path as it sets. Just to the west of our onsen town is Kamuriki Mountain, towering 880 meters above the Chikuma River and our town nestled here along the river banks.
As the sun sets, it first ducks behind Kamuriki Mountain, but then makes a quick appearance above the mountain's northern shoulder before retiring for the night. I am not sure if it because of this unique dance with the mountain or not, but the setting sun often creates the most brilliant red sunsets in the sky above Togura-Kamiyamada.
Last night was such a night. Here are a few pictures. I'm afraid they don't do the colors justice.
