HAKKODA MOUNTAINS IN AOMORI.

         We wanted to see snow covered mountains, so went to see Hakkoda mountains.

One day after, snow melted from trees.

    This looks a bit like where I live in the mountains of CO. I especially like the evening at the swamp photo.

    八甲田山といえば、映画を思い出します。訓練中の連隊の兵士のほとんどが遭難死するという過酷な冬の八甲田山。でも自然はやさしくも厳しくもありますね。荒涼とした地獄沼の背後の山が夕日に映え美しいです。

    去年行った奥入瀬から、十和田ゴールドラインを思い出しました。八甲田は霧が深くてゴンドラは中止しましたが、ゴールドライン沿いのブナ（樺？）の黄葉は感激でした。そこから八甲田の山並みが良く見えました。紅葉（黄葉）はもう終わっているみたいですね。何度も訪れておられるようで、うらやましいです。

    八甲田はすっかり雪山なのですね。空気がキリット冷たく引き締まっていることが伝わってきます。素晴らしいですね。平地ばかり歩いてる私にとって、別世界のようです。

    The pictures are really beautiful. I'm so in love with the eighth one : the contrast of color between the mounts (orange) and the water/sky (blue) is simply incredible.

    すごーい！寒そう！　でも温泉があるなら、頑張って登れるかも？Stardustさんのおしゃっている映画、私も見ました。　演技派の役者がそろった良い映画でしたが、悲しかったです。　写真の山々が、猛々しくて素晴らしいです。

    Dear Akemi sama。
    　こんばんは。ここには酸ヶ湯温泉という素晴らしい温泉があります。酸ヶ湯温泉の名物は千人風呂で混浴です。今回は入りませんでした。　その温泉が経営してるホテルが八甲田ホテルです。　ロープウエイまで車で10分です。2日続けてロープウエイの山頂駅まで行きました。
    　小説は私も読みました。　映画は見ませんでした。
