20th Dec 2025: Mt Takao Cable Car in Late Autumn

-
During the autumn foliage season, the Mount Takao Cable Car serves as an important means of transportation that allows visitors to enjoy the beautiful fall colors while reducing the physical burden of climbing the mountain. The autumn leaves typically reach their peak from mid‑November onward, and during this period Mount Takao becomes extremely lively, attracting many visitors as one of the most accessible and popular spots for autumn foliage near central Tokyo.

The Mount Takao Cable Car connects Kiyotaki Station and Takaosan Station in approximately six minutes and is known for its exceptionally steep gradient, reaching a maximum incline of 31 degrees 18 minutes, one of the steepest in Japan. The cars feature large windows, allowing passengers to admire vividly colored maple leaves, ginkgo trees, and beech trees along the route. The foliage is especially beautiful in the soft light of the morning and in the angled sunlight of the late afternoon, which enhances the rich autumn hues.

One of the greatest attractions of the Mount Takao Cable Car is that the ride itself is an enjoyable experience, offering not only convenient access but also a memorable opportunity to appreciate the seasonal scenery together with the autumn leaves.

    こうして眺めていると、高尾登山電鉄　って凄いですよね。
    お写真の腕前も手伝って、見入っています。
    其れにしても、多彩な機材をお持ちで、羨ましい。

      これは娘と二人でハイキングに行った時の写真です。もう紅葉も終わりの時期でしたが、なんとか残っているところを見つけて撮る事ができました。家族とどこかに出かけるときはD750に28-300の組み合わせがほとんどです。D750は暗い所でも粘ってくれますし、大きさもさほど気にならないのでいいですね。一方、リンクでお送りさせて頂いた小石川後楽園の写真はZ8を使う会社の先輩との本気撮りでした。

      写真は８歳の時からやっているのですが、下手な横好きで機材ばっかり増えてしまい、肝心の腕が上達しないのが悩ましいところです。世の中はミラーレスですが、子育て中の私にはそんな余裕もなく、また中古で良いレンズとかを探すのも楽しく、今でもFマウントで頑張っています。Fマウントの描写にも非常に満足しているいのでZに変える必要性もあまり感じていないというのも本音です。

      春めいてきましたので、そろそろ本気撮りしないとですね！

24th Dec 2017: Rancho Palos Verdes Starbucks – My Most Cherished Ocean View Coffee Memory

-
Image
There’s a Starbucks in Rancho Palos Verdes (Los Angeles, CA) that I will never forget. Nestled right in front of the vast Pacific Ocean, it offers a breathtaking view that makes every sip of coffee feel like a moment of peace.  What made it truly special were the evenings—watching the sun slowly sink into the horizon, painting the ocean in shades of crimson and gold. I remember sitting there, completely immersed in the beauty, feeling time gently slow down. It’s been nearly twenty years since that visit, but the memory remains vivid in my heart. Among all the Starbucks I’ve ever been to, this one stands above the rest. It wasn’t just about the coffee—it was about the serenity, the view, and the quiet joy of being present in such a beautiful moment. Even now, I consider it the best Starbucks I’ve ever experienced. rencho palos verdes starbucks - Bing 地図 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.2 / 1/277s / ISO25 / 0.0 iPhone 6s Plus / F2.5 / 1/280s / ISO25 / 0.0 Participating in the ranking If you thi...
