Aso in mid October

It has been dry and hot during the day in Kumamoto in October.  The sky is clear blue and it's a very comfortable season.  I visited Aso mountain last week to see if anything has changed since the volcano erupted.  There was dark smoke constantly rising from the mountain but it didn't seem to be in a bad state.

「１０月半ばの阿蘇」熊本は毎日快晴で、乾燥していて過ごし易い。先週阿蘇に行ってみた。９月に大きな噴火があり、黒い噴煙が継続的に出ていたが、見た目は以前とさほど変わらなかった。
