In addition, on October 29, a special program “Shinshu Autumn Fruit Festa” was held.

While listening to lectures on sales points of varieties born in Nagano Prefecture, how to identify delicious fruits, how to eat, etc. by the sponsoring JA All Agricultural Nagano staff, the seasonal fruits of autumn (grape: Kyoho / Shine Muscat, Apple: Shinano Sweet / Shinano Gold / Akiba (Akiba), none: Minamisui).

In addition to the Nagano sightseeing PR character "Alkuma", Kawakami Village's "Lettasuke" has also appeared, playing a role in the bustle.

　This year, September 15 was the so-called “Midautumn Moon” and “15 Nights” on August 15 in old calendar, and October 13 was the “Thirteen Nights” on September 13 in old calendar.

On the 15th, two days behind the "Thirteen Nights", a refreshing blue sky spreads out, and the "Mamaru no Tsuki" shines next to the Ishikawajima Lighthouse Monument in Tsukuda Park, which was lit up from the evening.

The thirteenth night is one step before the full moon.

By the way, October 16th is the full moon this year.

In any case, the moon tonight looks even more beautiful in the clear night sky.

The reason why the autumn sky is "clear and visible" is.

① When there is a large amount of water vapor in the air, the sky tends to look whitish due to the reflection of sunlight, but the air brought by the mobile high pressure from the continent in autumn is dry, so the blueness of the sky tends to be dark and clear.

② Grass grow over the summer, dust is less likely to occur, and yellow sand is less flying.

That's why.

　On September 30, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information `` Akiakane Hatsumi '', and even at Tsukuda Park, if you look carefully on a sunny day, Akiakane will appear in the autumn sky. I see you dance.

It is said that this year's first appearance is 13 days later than normal.

Dragonfly's flying ability is one of the best in the living world.

Skillfully manipulates the four wings, hovering (air stop), sudden turning, high-speed flight and its free actions are wonderful.

Akiakane is one of the representative species of so-called "red dragonflies".

Akiakane emerges on flatlands in early summer, moves to mountainous areas during summer, and when the heat eases, mature adults return to flatlands, while the approximation Natsu Akane is the overall habitat period itself. Although there is no difference, it is said that it will appear on flat ground throughout the entire period.

Natsu Akane's maturity can be distinguished by the fact that all of the head, chest, and abdomen are red, but the most reliable identification point is said to be the central black muscle on the side of the chest, regardless of mammature.

Akiakane has a pointed tip, while Natsu Akane has a horny tip.

"Red Dragonfly" in the clear blue sky, it is a piece that feels autumn close to you with refreshing wind.

　On October 8th, at the event space on the 2nd floor of Ginza NAGANO (Ginza 5), taste the grapes cultivated for wine brewing and the wine made together, compare them with raw food, and experience the differences between varieties. Event, "Eating wine grapes!" "Shiojiri Wine Seminar" was held.

This is a special project unique to this time when grapes can be harvested.

Toshiyuki Oguchi: Following the toast of Mayor Shiojiri and the introduction of Shiojiri City, after a wine lecture by Seiji Akabane, director of Shiojiri City Industrial Promotion Division, immediately tasting wine grapes and tasting wine.

In Shiojiri City, in addition to concord / Niagara, which inherits the tradition, various varieties such as Chardonnay, Muscat Baly A, Cabernet Sauvignon are cultivated in addition to the world-renowned Mellow, but this tasting is Ryugan, Chardonnay, Black Queen, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot.

In general, raw grapes have large grains and a tightly packed appearance without gaps, pursue freshness and ease of eating, thin skin, small seeds, modest acidity, and sweetness. It is said that it is easy to feel.

On the other hand, wine brewing grapes have small grains, ventilation (prevention of illness) and sunshine (increase in sugar content), the bunch has many gaps, the skin is thick, the seeds are large, and the sugar content (more than 20 degrees) Despite the fact that the sourness is strong, the sweetness tends to be masked, but it is said to be a rich taste with a sense of condensed.

At the same time, the "Ark Light Memorial Light" has been rebuilt and has been lit again since September 26.

This place is said to have been lit for demonstrations by Kihachiro Okura, one of the founders of Tokyo Lighting Company, using a rice generator in 1882. A place that is said to have been lit for demonstrations.

In 1956, as a commemorative light for "Japan's first electric streetlight place", "Arc Light" was reprinted by the hands of related parties, and a Nishiki-e "Tokyo Ginza Tsutsumi Electric Lighting Lighting" depicting the former situation A bronze plate "Electrical Light Pillar Monument" with the cast of the figure was attached to the side wall.

The light of the arc lamps, which is called 2,000 candlelight, is far brighter than gas lamps and oil lamps, and is parable as "1, Tenmichi-sama, 2nd Moon, and 3rd Arc lamps in Ginza". It is reported that many visitors came to the crowd.

It was rebuilt as the second generation in 1972 and the third generation in 1986, and was once removed in 2012 after Great East Japan Earthquake.

The fourth-generation monument has the same design as at the time of installation. At a height of about 12m, I heard that the former mercury lamp was changed to LED, and the firehouse made of glass was changed to resin.
