So I climbed one this spring, the 1601-metre-peak called Hinokiboramaru in Tanzawa. The Japanese Beech forest in spring was just stunning and two types of azaleas, pink Rhododendron wadanum and white Rhododendron quinquefolium, were both blooming beautifully.
少し前になるが、春には丹沢のツツジがみたいと思い、檜洞丸に登ってきた。今年はシロヤシオの当たり年らしく、新緑の中で真っ白な花が咲き乱れていた。葉よりも先に花だけ咲くミツバツツジは清楚だし、シロヤシオの赤茶の縁取りがついた5枚の葉も素敵だ。
I found my favorite spot and started to sketch. A few minutes later, I realised that everyone passing the mountain path stopped at where I was to take photos. Some even decided to take a little break there. But there were so many nice places with brilliant scenery almost all the way along the path. They didn't have to choose the exact spot, where I was, to disturb my quiet and peaceful time! I suspect that people are not looking at the beauty of the mountain as they climb unless they are told to do so by somebody or by sign boards at suggested view points. Or they can not decide what is beautiful and worth while taking photos unless someone tells them so!
