You can see "Kunashiri" island (One of Japanese northern territory
islands occupied by Russia after the W.W.II) in the distance.
The flowers blossom only in summer. Young leaves grow in spring, and
nothing appears in fall and in winter.
Bird's eye view of primeval flower garden which has many kind of flowers.
Yellow one is "Ezo-Kanzo" and "Sendai-Hagi" (some kind of bush clover),
red one is "Hamanasu" (sweetbrier), blue one is "Hama-endo", and
white one is "Wata-suge" (some kind of sedge) in my imagination.
Flowers and Todowara.
It seems that this is a symbol of transmigration of life.
Primeval flower garden with mountains from behind,
the scene of great nature of Hokkaido.
The sea between them is Notsuke bay. The surface of the sea of
real Notsuke bay freezes completely in mid winter.
A scene of taking a walk in the flower garden.
You can see "Utase-Bune" in the distance.
At the vicinity of above photo, this is a full screen mode view (Alt + Enter).
I don't like full screen mode view, because this view has some kind of dirty taste.
