夕べ、東京からの帰りの新幹線から浅間山を見たら、噴煙も出ていました。日の入りの光で、でかい浅間山の火山の動き、新幹線の速度で、凄く感動的でした。
Last night, on the Nagano Shinkansen coming back from Tokyo, around the Karuizawa area you could see Mount Asama with a cloud of volcanic ash rising from its peak. The whole scene was impressively dynamic -- massive Mount Asama showing signs of volcanic activity, with the ash cloud dark against the sunset-tainted orange sky, all while flying at 260 km/h in the "Asama" Nagano Shinkansen bullet train -- human and natural forces at work.
