The shape of the mountains are called "Twelve Apotles" at Camp's bay.

Himawari

Oops!

Himawari, a symbol of Summer, is saying like.....

"Hey, I'm still here!"

It's lovely!

Kinmokusei

I came back from France last Friday, and I noticed that the fragrance of Kinmokusei (Fragrant orange-colored olive) was filled in the air once I steeped onto the platform of Tachibana station.

It is one of my most favorite fragrances of flowers which is always a remider that Autamn is here... The heat of Summer is now over, and we are guradually re-energized in this season.

The air with the fragrance which is not too cold and not too hot is harmonized with a clear Autamn sky.

How beautiful and confortable it is!
