Hi everyone, みなさんこんにちは！
With the arrival of the rainy season here, spring has finally come to an end. The vegetation that fills the ravines and streams of the Boso Peninsula is now growing rapidly, transforming these quiet places into a world of vivid green.
This is my favourite time of year to explore and photograph local ravines. The water is still cool from the spring months, and the steep walls are covered with ferns and other native plants. In places, small wildflowers add touches of colour among the greenery.
What draws me back year after year is the intensity of the green. At this time of year, it is so bright that it is almost blinding. The leaves catch every trace of light, and their reflections shimmer on the trickling water below. Sometimes the photos don’t look real, so my thought is that the more I photograph it, the more believable it will become.
Here is a small selection of photographs I have taken in local ravines here in Boso, I hope they convey some of the freshness and beauty of these sacred places. If you’d like to see more images like these, take a look at the galleries section of the site. I have a whole gallery there called Boso Ravines.
梅雨入りとともに、房総の谷や渓流は一年で最も緑が美しい季節を迎えました。シダなど、沢で見られる植物が勢いよく成長し、景色は鮮やかな緑に包まれています。
この時期は私が渓流を撮影するのが大好きな季節です。流れる水はまだ冷たく、沢歩きは少し大変ですが、この時期にしか見られない緑の美しさがたまりません。本当に美しいです。
房総の渓谷や沢で撮影した渓流風景をいくつかご紹介します。気に入っていただけたら、ギャラリー内の「Boso Ravines」もぜひご覧ください。
Thanks and Enjoy!
