Last week-end I guided some friends to Kiso-Ontakesan summit, the second highest volcano in Japan, located between the Northern Alps and the Central Alps. I shot a lot of videos with my new HD camcorder during these two hiking days and have decided to try to innovate and propose you this time a short video instead of a long article. This is my debut as a film maker and it is very hard to find reusable music licensed under the creative commons by-nc-sa copyright license so be lenient.
In addition to videos, I kept taking pictures and here is a selection

As well as the ones of the flowers we saw this time: anaphalis margaritacea, senecio nemorensis, hypericum kamtschaticum var senanense, campanulaceae lasiocarpa, stellaria nipponica, gentiana algida, solidago virgaurea var leiocarpa, dicentra peregrina
