2011/02/26 Cycling to Ogasaki Wing, a good view point in Shirahama, Shimoda

110226shirahama01 Today it was warmer than yesterday.

After I prepared the room, bath and everything for our customers I went to Ogasaki Wing to take pictures for the webpage "Walking Guide in Shirahama" on our website.

The distance between Sakuraya and Ogasaki Wing is about 6 or 7 kirometers, and it takes about 1 hour by walking.

Before getting to Ogasaki Wing there is a steep staircases like this photo.

It was really hard to climb up this carrying the bike on my shoulder.

 

2011/02/22 Sunrise in Shirahama

110222sunrise01

This morning, when I was preparing the breakfast for our customers I found out the right from the east sky.

There was a beautiful scenary with sunrise, and I took this through the window of our guest room.

Sunrise is always a good photographic subject, but it is better when we have cloud around sun.

The sky world is quite different!!

2011/02/21 A strong windy day like a storm?

110221beach01 It was almost cloudy all day today.

But we had a very strong wind here in Shirahama.

So the sea was stormy and they had big waves today.

In this season the weather is changing every 2 or 3 days, because we now in between winter and spring.

The weather forecast says it would be sunny tomorrow.

I think the foreign family who is staying at Sakuraya for 4 nights will be able to go to Kawazu town or Minami-Izu town to see Sakura blossoms.

2011/02/13 Snow on Amagi Mountains in Izu peninsula

110213snow02 It was rainy and very cold all day yesterday, but it became sunny today.

This morning my daughter had a sport competition at Shimoda junior high schoo, so I took her by my car.

When I went down the hill the moutains with white snow appeared over there.

I took this photo when I came back to Shirahama.

Amagi mountains are highest one in Izu peninsula, and they have snow once or twice every winter!!

However we don't have snow here in Shirahama….
