上野榛名山
Mount Haruna, Kozuke Province
Rocks large and small and the leaves of trees overlap to fill the whole frame. A finely detailed view deep in the mountains, with almost no sky in sight.
About this photo
The lower half is filled with rocks large and small. Between them, something whitish, perhaps water or sand, shows through. The upper half is a wooded slope or cliff, where branches and leaves crowd finely over one another. Almost no sky can be seen.
Mount Haruna is counted as one of the Jomo Sanzan, the three mountains of Jomo. It is a large volcano whose base measures about 20 kilometers across, and at its summit lies a small caldera.
In the middle, a thin line crosses from left to right in a gentle arc along the border between the rocks and the trees. Amid the fine overlap of rocks and leaves, this line alone runs on unbroken and smooth.
