This is after seeing a spectacular view on the ocean.
Normally, I drive around the Erimo area looking for animals to photograph.
This time, however, I dared to walk to my usual point of interest.
Walking from the parking lot of Cape Erimo, my destination was Hyakunin-hama, 6 km away.
(Hyaku is Hundred, Nin is a person, and Hama is a beach (literal translation is A hundred beach.) This area used to be known as a difficult place on the sea. One time, a large ship wrecked and many drowned bodies washed up on the beach, and those who were lucky enough to survive died of hunger and cold. The number of survivors was as many as 100, hence the name “Hyakunin-hama / A handred beach”.
It was so close by car, but it seemed endlessly far away on foot.
Dr. Google said it would take 50 minutes to get there on foot, but it took 70 minutes with 6 kilograms of equipment.
When I left the Cape, the sun was still in the south.
But by the time I reached my destination, the sun began to tilt, gradually lengthening the shadows that fell beneath my feet.
As dusk approached, a small bird perched on a tree post in a national forest.
Because the Nikkor z 70-200 is equipped with a teleconverter, the photo will inevitably be rough when stretched.
This may be a limitation of the equipment, but it may also be due to my skill.
While I was walking around without much progress in taking pictures, I spotted a fox in a clearing.
I thought he already had summer hair, but upon closer inspection, it looked like winter hair. Maybe he is in the process of changing his hair.
The fox glanced back at me as I ran off.
I thought we would keep our distance from each other, but hopefully maintain a good relationship in the future.
The next day, I had a delicious seafood bowl at Isami Sushi Restaurant in Erimo Town and returned to my home 200 km away.
I ate too much and am sleepy.
