Scenery in Susono

As the sun rises earlier, we can get out for earlier morning rides. Spring is a great season; though it has been rather brisk these days. Our morning ride left us with cold fingers and toes, but the bright blue sky and fierce sunshine afforded some beautiful views along one of our usual morning routes.

The photos below were all taken at about 6:30 a.m., just around the corner, really, from where we live. Seriously - not one traffic light between us and the places where these photos were taken.



Frosted Field - the overnight low must have dipped below zero (Celsius), as this field was decorated with frost.




Tea fields can be found throughout Shizuoka Prefecture, which is famous for it's green tea. We pass a few little tea fields on our morning ride.




I just thought this was a lovely place to take a short break.





On the way back home, coming down hill, we get this panoramic view of Susono city, Numazu City, Izu Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean (the long arm-like piece of land on the left is Izu).
