Iwagikyo is one of the alpine plants distributed in the alpine zone of Japan, and is a hardy plant that grows wild mainly in rocky areas. When walking on the road of Mt. Norikura, through the cracks in the concrete on the side of the road The flowers of iwagikyo were blooming conspicuously. It felt as if someone had called me here. At an altitude of 2,700 meters, the temperature is low and the wind blows constantly, making it a very harsh environment for plants. I tried to take the best picture of them, so I concentrated on shooting while also thinking about the background that would be reflected. I would be happy if you could feel the strength of their vitality that makes flowers bloom bravely even in such a harsh environment.
