Dam Touring Summer

Dam Touring Summer July 23, 2022 "Dam Touring" is a very fascinating experience by our Vice President, Aki Fujita, "on the subject of "dams". On the way to and from the dam in the mountains, you can enjoy the flowers in spring, the green leaves in summer (I found the mamushigusa particularly interesting), the autumn leaves in fall, and the dam itself in winter (the camellia garden is one of the winter delights)." As Aki stated, " I take pictures of wildflowers wherever I go". This "Dam Touring in Summer" was taken on July 23, 2022, when I drove from Okutama to Kofu.
