Asama-yama blowing off steam

長野県はどこに行っても、雄大な山々が見えます。最近は天気が良いし、その青空と雪白の山の姿を見る度にホッとします。写真もなるべく撮ります。ここでいくつかを紹介したいと思います。

今回は鹿教湯温泉からの浅間山。火山灰も出ていました。

Everywhere you go in Nagano, you are sure to see many majestic mountains. Lately, we've had beautiful weather, so the sight of the brilliant blue skies contrasting with the snow capped mountains hits me every time I see them. And as much as possible I try to stop and take a picture. I'd like to share some of them with everybody.

This is Mt. Asama as seen from Kakeyu Onsen in Ueda. Notice the plume of volcanic ash coming from the summit.
