There is a mountain range whose name is Iide Mountain. The mountains are located among three prefectures; Niigata, Fukushima, and Yamagata. Since my house is in Niigata Plain, I can see the mountains in east, when the sky is clear. The straight distance is approximately 50 kilometers (30 miles) from my house to the mountains. Now, it is the mid-October, and temperature is going down. I think soon I will be able to see snow on the top of Iide Mountain Range.
The photo was taken on October 28, 2020. The peak is Kitamata-Dake (Mt. Kitamata) with altitude of 2025 meters (it is interesting that the altitude and this year are the same 2025). In the years of corona pandemic, I had quite often taken pictures of this Mt. Kitamata, and shared the photos with my students through SNS. Although very few of my students are taking a look at this blog now, when snow has fallen onto Mt. Kitamata of Iide Moutain Range, I will take a picture and post it on this blog.
