A Peak with Mt. Kita in View, Southern Alps Japan

English

September in the Southern Alps — I hiked up to this striking granite peak, and there it was: Mt. Kita looming across the valley. The overcast sky gave the whole scene this moody, almost sacred energy. Those twin stone markers at the summit felt like they were pointing straight at it.

９月の南アルプス。この岩峰に登ったら、遠く北岳・南アルプスがくっきり見えた！曇り空が逆に雰囲気を高めてくれて、頂上の石の標識がその先を指すみたいで、なんか不思議な感覚になったな。
