TUGAIKE NATURAL GARDEN IN NAGANO

It takes about 35 minutes to go to Tugaike Natural garden by two kind of cable cars.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　栂池自然園です。

The first cable cars.

最初はゴンドラで、次はロープウエイに乗ります。

    こんばんは、栂池自然園の遊歩道はウッドデッキですか。素敵ですねえ。こういう道なら３時間でも歩けそうです（笑）。お花ではチングルマの種が個性的です。語源が稚児車というなら、昔から日本に広く分布してるんでしょうね。一番下はブルーのまつぼっくりですか。もうちょっと拡大でも見てみたいですが、ハイキングに望遠レンズは持って行かないですよね。私も遠出やハイキングでは普通レンズ＋マクロレンズの２本で荷物を軽くしてます。

      　おはようございます。ここの花はおなじみの花ばかりですが、多くの花がとても綺麗にさいていました。
      　チングルマは高山植物で、とても群生が多いです。それで、この名前が付けられたのかも知れません。
      　レンズは標準と望遠ズームと50ｍマクロを持って行きます。オオシラビソは高木なので、マツボックリは良く写りませんでした。
      　この木が地元では、栂と呼ばれているそうです。
