LAKE TOWADAKO AND MT.HAKKODA

We went to Lake Towadako and Mt.Hakkoda.  We started from Oirase-Keiryu beck.

       　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 十和田湖と八甲田山に行きました。

銚子大滝、魚どめの滝とも言われます。

When we arrived at Mountain top station,heavy snow was falling.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It was a full Moon day when we  stayed a hotel in Aomori.

 青森のホテルに泊まった日は満月でした。

　







We have various kind of names about Moon.

One day after full Moon : Hesitating Moon.
Two days after : Moon, waiting for by standing
Three days after : Moon,waiting for by sitting
Four days after : Moon, waiting for by laying.


満月の次の日は十六夜（いざよい）と言います。躊躇するをいざようと言った事が語源の様です。
その次の日は、立ち待ち月です。
その次が、居待ち月です。
その次が、寝待つち月です。

    こんばんは。紅葉のお写真きれいです。
    それに、満月！お見事です。まるで東山魁夷の日本画のような雰囲気のあるお写真ですね。私も月が撮りたくて挑戦したことがありましたが、デジカメではちっともうまく撮れませんでした。

    こんにちは、写真で拝見すると、十和田湖、八甲田山がちょうど見ごろで、奥入瀬があと１週間か１０日くらいといった感じでしょうか。十和田湖の遊覧船からの写真がとても綺麗です。１１月になると関東も紅く染まってくると思いますが、もうちょっとですね。月の一番下の写真は表面の模様まで、よく撮れてます。

    奥入瀬、私も行ってました！残念ながら渓流散策は雨模様で、紅葉のピークにはまだ少し早かったのですが、それでも十分に満足できました。出来ることなら今もう一度行きたいのはやまやまなんですが。十和田湖もこういう風に望める場所があるんですね。八甲田はガスがかかっていてロープウェイは中止しましたが、青森に向かう途中の八甲田ゴールドラインはまさしく最高の黄葉。青森が想像以上に都会なので驚きました。写真のようなきれいなお月様は見ることができませんでしたが、ここ奈良で見上げています。
