I climbed Mt. Raizan. To the very top. It took some hours, but I'm glad I could still do it. Jaap was with me, and a friend as well. We took our time, stopped at many places to take photos and visited the Buddhist temple at the end of the day. It was a good day.
A lot of wild Hydrangea's along the way. アマチャ - アジサイ
Still at the parking lot, an Unmon Suzume Hawk Moth, ウンモンスズメ sat on the concrete, rested on the grass and flew away into the darkness of the forest
