It’s so cool today that the heat until recently seems like a lie. I don’t think it’s going to be a full-fledged fall as it is, but given the recent unseasonable climate, it may be surprising.  However, the seasons of the Shinshu plateau are changing as usual.  Colorful flowers dye the plateau in autumn colors.  The breeze is definitely the autumn breeze.  However, what is different from the usual year is that there are few people.  Obviously the effect of the coronavirus.  It seems unlikely that the number of people will increase as autumn deepens this year.

ついこの間の暑さが嘘の様に思える涼しさです。とてもこのまま本格的な秋に突入するとは思えませんが、最近の不順な気候を思えば、意外にそうなるかも知れません。しかし、信州の高原はどこも例年通りに季節は巡っています。色とりどりの花が高原を秋の色に染めています。そよ吹く風は確実に秋の風です。ただ例年と違うのは人影の少ないことです。明らかにコロナウイルスの影響です。秋の深まりに合わせて増える人出も今年は望めそうではありません。
