    Hakuba village.　白馬村.
    白馬 is white horse in Chinese.
    Do we find many white horse over here?

      Dear Rainfield61.
      Thank you very much for your comment. There would appear a white horse shape of the lingering snow on the mountainside in spring. The mountain would come to called Shirouma-Dake(白馬岳）, Then the village woukd come to called Hakuba village. 白馬 is pronounced both Hakuba and Shirouma in Japan. OK?

    Breathtaking scenery - I imagine the air is very clean and clear up there. It's strange (for me) to see a hilltop lily field.......the blues and greens of the hills make the colours really stand out.
    Lovely photos - thank you Minoru!

    Enjoy your week,
    Ruby

      Dear Ruby.
      Thank you very much for your comment. These lilies are planted. But I think they are very beautiful. The lily season had been already ended. But they are blomming in the highlands only..

    Minoru, your photos always take my breath away! These are brilliant! I love that first photo, especially - what a dramatic backdrop for the gorgeous lilies!

    Are those rice paddies in the photo looking down on Hakuba Village, or a different crop? What a beautiful place to visit - and to live!

    I'm also wondering if all those varieties of lilies grow up there naturally, or if people planted them - or both! They're amazing - love the photo of the field of lilies and then all the individual closeups that show the variety. I think the hot pink one in the middle is my favorite (what a color!), but they are all so beautiful! How wonderful it must be to just stand among them all, breathing that sweet air and enjoying that magnificent view!

      Dear Laloofah.
      Thank you very much for your comment. I feel very happy you like my post. Yes,They are rice paddies. They will be ripened in autumn. Lilis are planted. Natural lilies are not many colors. There were sweet air and sweey scents in the highlands.

      Dear Akemi sama.
      こんばんは。この日は長野駅では気温、３４度でとても暑かったですが、高原は爽やかでした。園芸種の百合ですが、どうにかまだ咲いてて良かったです。　都内では７月２０日頃が見頃です。
      　今日から、とても涼しくなり、東京も最高気温は２９度でした。　長野の最低気温は２０度を下回ったそうです。
      　日本の旅を楽しんで来られるよう願ってます。

    すみません。まだ書き終えていないのに送信されてしまいました。やり直しです＾＾；　相変わらずあちこちに旅行されているのですね！白馬村もなんと美しいところなんでしょう！先日立山黒部アルペンルートに行きましたが、黒部ダム堰堤から白馬岳の頂上が白い雲の合間からはっきり見えました。青空、美しいアルプスの峰々、さわやかな空気、冷たく美味しい水・・・信州の魅力は尽きないですね。次回は是非白馬村に行ってみたいです。

      　こんばんは。　黒部アルペンルートに行かれたのですか、雄大な景色を堪能されたと思います。　私たちは、室堂の雪の大きな壁の様なものを見て、雷鳥も見て来ました。
      　白馬は見どころが集中していて、何度行っても楽しいです。
