Dear all,

It is almost nine months passed since "A Summer Place 2016, at the Komagane Kohgen Highlands" was posted last summer. Meanwhile, a lot of people read it, even in my blog. I appreciate you so much. I tried to prepare an English version so I am happy if you read it. 

Welcome and many thanks for your any comments or corrections on my English.

With best regards.

A Summer Place 2016

at the Komagane Kohgen Highlands

The movie "The Wind Rises" ends in the summer vapor trail.

Let's write its continuation here.

That was on the afternoon of Saturday 30th July 2016.

On this day I spent about 8 hours and climbed down a stretch of 2,000 meters, from the Utsugi-dake mountain at an altitude of 2,864 meters to the parking lot, the Komagane Suganodai Bus Center. In order to wait for the seniors who are still going down, I sit on the shade bench in the parking lot at the Bus Center, avoiding the strong sunlight of the summer, and was smoking a cigarette.

Although the summit was so refreshing temperature, the Bus Center at the foot was truly hot, even the highlands.

Still, while watching the mountains of the Central Alps, watching the sky of the summer, the breeze entering occasionally feels good.

Every time I realize the freshness of the summer highlands, it was still hot.

Melting hot!
Dead tired.

And from the other side of the smokes that puff several times, there are some signs of people.

That is,

writing normally, "a young woman was getting closer".

Writing in style of Haruki Murakami, "An one-piece dress swayed in the refreshing wind of the highlands".

Writing in style of Atsuhiro Yoshida, “A slender shadow approached, looking up it was Nahoko”.

When writing this blog style, “Mlle Nahoko, your dress is amazed for me, the stimulation is a bit too...(^_^;)”

I quickly moved sideways and made space for her, but when I think about it, I smell with the sweat of mountain climbing and she is wearing a maxi dress of a beautiful clear watery tank top that has nothing to do with climbing.

Nothing could have happened, and after a while she silently put out her cigarette, it was when she casually glanced at me.

Which mountain did you climb?

Wow, wowzers???

It was like whispers of a fresh wind of summer.

It seemed that I was showering from above of my head that was boiling with the heat. ^_^

I stayed at the Hotel Senjojiki.

I arrived at midnight.

Oh, you did have a lot of flowers?

Brocken's phenomenon? Rainbow? 

I want to see pictures!

I told her that the battery of my smartphone had disappeared early, there were no pictures and I can not activate it.

I bought a digital SLR camera for today, new one.

I took some pictures around the hotel.

But the weather was not so good.

While enjoying such a conversation with Nahoko, I cut out her smile from a frame made with fingers of both hands,

I felt she looks like a fashion model.

Shall I send you pictures soon?

Please show me next time when some pictures of your new camera are ready.

Thinking about such a thing,

The high wind shook her one-piece dress like a prank, and carried away her slender shadow over there.

It was such a scene in summer highlands.
