夏の思い出 - Summer memories

友人と夏休みに軽井沢へ。

折しも３つの台風が日本列島に近付いていた頃で、

晴れ女パワーでもなかなか太刀打ちできず。。。

でも、深い森で聞く雨音も、

目に優しい濃い緑の風景も

癒しの時間となり、とても良かったです。

そう、これぞ避暑かも知れないですね。

I went to Karuizawa with my friend during summer vacation this year.

I am loved by sun when I go to trips, but how can we expect good weather when 3 typhoons were approaching?

Well, it’s a really good experience to hear rain drops in the deep forests and see vivid green leaves of trees from safe and cozy places under the roofs.

心に残っているものは、

ルオムの森の100年洋館にある図書館とカフェ、

庭も含めてアートのセゾン現代美術館、

雨でけぶる鬼押し出し園で見た光る苔。

The following are still fresh in my mind;

A small library and cozy cafe in 100 years-old house at LUOMU forest, Sezon Museum of modern art where the scenery from the windows is also beautiful art and glowing mosses in Onioshidashi Volcanic Park.

Glowing mosses deep inside of crack of rock, in the rain

雨の中、岩の割れ目で光る苔
