Hiking

I sometimes go wandering around atop pointy mountains, and I tend to bring a camera. I thought I might just put some photos here to prove that.

This is a rather lower priority than most other parts of this site, and does require a bit of effort, so it shouldn't be too shocking if it's a bit thin or stale.

This is the summit of Kai-Koma-ga-take, in the Japan South Alps.
