Pretty but somewhat imposing clouds above Matsumoto, with the japanese alps in the background. A view that stretches all along the valley.

Early cherry blossoms in front of a temple.

Autumn colors on a trip up Mt.Nagamine.

Clothed temple statues near Sakakita village.

Reeds illuminated by an autumn sunset on a walk around Matsumotos Alps garden.

One of a bunch of cats strolling around a seemingly abandoned house.

Someone must have bribed a structural inspector for this to exist. A small japanese castle built on top of a school, with some part of it hanging over the edge.

It me. Taking a cold foot bath during spring in the Atera ravine stream.
