the other day、I went to Nikko。The autumn leaves are not turning as fast as I expected.、Will I be able to make it in time for autumn leaves viewing next week?、It was like that、The heat of this summer and fall、Many of the upper leaves, such as autumn leaves, withered and bleached due to the warmth.。It looks like the autumn leaves won't be as bright as usual.。
Away from the bustle of Lake Chuzenji、If you go further to Kotoku Farm, the crowds will be much sparser.。When you come to a hill overlooking the farm、There's no one left。It's obvious from the way the fence is broken that they no longer keep cows here (a little further down it seems like they're keeping cattle for the first time in a few years)、The fence was brand new there, but there were no cows.)。Still、That means it's not overgrown、It means someone is mowing the grass.。
The grass grows to the same length as a lawn.、The soil is soft and peeking out here and there.。And the surrounding bamboo and trees。They probably absorb the sound。It's as quiet as if you were in a soundproof room.。I can clearly hear the sound of each leaf falling.。The sound of stepping on fallen leaves is soothing。
I now live somewhere between the countryside and the city.、You can't experience such tranquility there, even in the middle of the night.。Because I'm a country boy、A life where you see and are seen by people every day、To be honest, it's a little annoying。I've loved being alone ever since I was a child.、I guess I'm used to some inconvenience.。So many lively plants、If you have animals, you won't feel lonely.、observe them、I'm sure you'll be busy just sketching.。Above all、From the bustling noise of the city、I feel that obtaining this “luxurious tranquility” is much richer for me.。The city doesn't have what I really want。
