This row shows a Shaga Flower - a wild flower, a mountain Dogwood Flower, and Kazuya standing beside our new tent at I-Ccho-Daira - Daira means Plateau. It was SO FOGGY the entire time we were there - made life quite damp!

Here is another shot of the tent through the fog, a macro-photo of an Indian Pipe (Monotropa sp.) and an interesting moth on a Cedar Tree.

This row includes the final shot at I-Ccho-Daira - Cedar Trees in the Fog. The next photo was taken on May 30 - a sunset shot from the Summit of Hinode Moutnain (902 meters = 2,959 feet). The final shot in this row shows the Hinode Summit shelter at night (a 4 second exposure), with the lights of Metropolitan Tokyo in the background.

Here is me at Tsuru-Tsuru (Slippery-Slippery) Hot Spring, where we stopped on our hike down Hinode Mountain. The name is indicative of the feeling after you soak in the hot water, as the water is slightly alkaline. The next item is a MOVIE at I-Ccho-Plateau, it shows the fog rolling by, but more importantly, it includes several calls of a Cuckoo Bird - and it's a real one, not a Cuckoo Clock in my pocket!!
By the way, the movie is about 5 MB in size, so think twice before you click on it. The 3rd photo is my DVD collection as of May 17th, 2004. By the way, here is a link to my entire DVD collection if you're asking yourself what
might be good to rent for the weekend! Click Here. The DVD's will be sorted by date purchased. You can click on title to sort that way if you desire. This link will open a new browser window.
