Tonight, when I went to Shimoda I found that a ship was decorated a lot of beautiful lights at Shimoda harbor.
"Well, Black Ship Festival will take place from tomorrow…. ."
I was going to take a piciture of that ship later, but when I went back to the harbor 2 hours later again, the decorations had already been finished.
So I am going to show a picture that I took 2 years ago…….
In Shirahama we accept a lot of students of Junior high school, who come to have experiences of nature of Shirahama every year.
Yes, this is similer to a summer camp.
Today, the first school of this year, 200 students came from Yokohama, and stayed for one night.
This is a picture that I took an openning ceremony in Itado area of Shirahama.
And they started to observe a sea after lunch. …….
How many days couldn’t we get sunshine like today ?
It was good for my son to walk outside today.
I was going to take a picture of my son standing on a chair, and said,
"Cheers ! Yuuki !"
He made his face like a monster.
And his mother was watching him worring.
By the way I went to Mt. Takane in Shirahama today too…….
Yesterday a man who came to check the vending machine gave us stamps with magnet.
My son loves putting something on a refrigerator, and he is pleased with these stamps.
In these days it has been cloudy, rainny and cool outside, so we cann’t go out to play. …..
As I wrote in this weblog I went to Mt. Takane which is highest mountain in Shimoda yesterday.
Then I remember that I was going to make a webpage of Mt. Takane hiking with a guide map.
So I decided to make it today, but I could make only map like this.
Because I wanted to make not only simple map but also map with pictures.
It took long time, so I couldn’t make all webpage today.
The route to the top of Mt. Takane is not difficult, so if you would like to go there please use this map.
This morning I went to the school with my children after a few days.
On the way to the school I was thinking, "Well , where am I going today ?", and decided to go to Mt. Takane which is a highest mountain in Shirahama.
Then I changed my route and started to go up the mountain.
When I arrived at the top of Mt. Takane, I could see a beautiful view.
The sun lights were coming down from the sky and made the sea "Stage".
This stage with lights and shadows was really misterious. …….
This is a most famous and biggest water fall "Joren-no-Taki" in Amagi in Izu peninsula.
In Japan, most of Japanese know this fall, because a Japanese singer "Sayuri Ishikawa" sing about this fall in her song.
That’s why a lot of people want to visit this fall to see it.
This fall is 25 meters high and 7 meters wide and selected one of 100 falls selection in Japan. ……
"Wao, this is a biiiig radish !", my son said.
This is a shop "Shun no Sato" where local farmers are selling various products.
I was surprised that about 500 farmars are providing.
We sometimes go this place to buy many kinds of things …… .
It was foggy day today after a long time.
When I went to the school with my children this morning it was cloudy. But it was changed rainny and foggy at noon.
I took this photo at the bus stop "Shirahama kaigan" on the way to Shimoda.
We can see Shirahama shrine overthere, it seemed like an island on the sea.
I am showing you a photo that I took at the same place same time last year……
"What are you doing, Yuuki ?"
After we finished to clean dishes of guest’s dinner, when we saw my son he was doing something with a pan.
– – – –
Hey ! Look at me ! Do you know what I am doing ?
Yes, I am cooking a beafsteak with a pan !
Are you thinking why I knew how to cook with pan ?
Because I have been watching that my dad had been cooking since I was a baby and knew how to cook. …….
