No matter where you are in Iya, it is always such a steep slope, hundreds of meters of altitude difference from the bottom to the top of the valley. The steep slopes make the living difficult, but there are few goods that comes with the slopes. One of them can be seen in the picture above. In Iya, you can see the change of season not just along the time lines, but also along the vertical lines. If you look closely at the picture above, you can see new leaves coming out on the trees near bottom, but not so much on the trees toward the top. It is a slight joy of life here to watch the Spring creeps up the slope slowly, day by day.
In the Autumn, it is the reverse. I enjoyed watching the coloring of the leaves creeping down the slope slowly.
Unfortunately, much of the surface of Iya is covered by evergreen cedar trees. I get to watch the colorful change of seasons only on these narrow strips of natural woods surrounded by cedar plantations.
