Tsugaike Nature Park / Sunny2018.Oct.03
The blue sky appeared around 8:30 a.m when I was about to take the first ropeway. Afterwards, it got the great day for enjoying autumn leaves. I saw many people holding and setting up their cameras with tripods in a line at the same spot.

It was sunny until around the noon, although the sunlight sometimes got soft or faded because of the clouds. Leaves looked bright while the sunlight cast over. So I repeated walking for a while, enjoying the view and taking photos. I could enjoy their contrast with the blue sky and the Northern Alps as well.

Autumn leaves are still beautiful but have already passed a peak in Tsugaike Nature Park. Leaves in the lower area were changing colors and the area under Tsugaike Ropeway was getting nice as well. While, the leaf color between the 24/33 pole and Tsuga-no-mori was getting deep under Gondola line. I was happy that I could enjoy the autumn leaves below me while going in the air.

I went to Tenbo Marsh like yesterday. The deck was so crowded that I couldn’t find any place to have a seat around 11 a.m. I felt the red leaves of Kuromamenoki, which looked like a red carpet, were striking this year, to say nothing of the autumn tree leaves.
