晩夏の千鳥ヶ淵

礼にはじまる

四ツ谷から番長への裏道

江戸時代のまま

真夏の四ツ谷駅

A photo I managed to take while walking today. Wasn't able to get up close unfortunately. I think it's Katori Shrine although I could be wrong on the reading of the kanji. The weather was pretty decent today, not as cloudy as usual. I'd like to go back here and see what the inner portion of the shrine is like so I guess I'll have to make another trip over here. Been keeping at my workouts. I want to buy a bench but I'm not sure where I'd even keep it lol. I'd rather workout outside if possible anyways, the outdoors in Japan is great. Even in the middle of Tokyo you can find places covered in greenery. I want to start jogging to work on my lung capacity and overall health but I really hate jogging lol. I know the track along the Arakawa River would be perfect for it too, but I'm not sure. Maybe I should get a bike since it's a really nice cycling route. Then again I'm not sure where I'd keep the bike either lol. Anyways, hope everyone is having a great Friday!

オリンピック、パラリンピックの準備。賑やう前。

花火 . . . あとがき。 花火っていいですよね。なんか。なんかいいですよね。

夏のはじまり。 . . . あとがき。 日本の夏。友達、あるいは大切な人と楽しむはずの夏。いつかまたこんな素敵な「夏」がくることを祈ってます。

秋田県の鳥海山の外輪山、七高山にて撮影した写真です。天の川が日本海に流れ込み、水平線に満月が沈みこんでいくところです。残雪が熊の顔や鳥の形に見えてなんとも幻想的な雰囲気をかもし出していました。

Lots of awesome photos being posted today. It's kind of making me jealous with how beautiful they all are. I went for a walk today and took a picture somewhere along the Arakawa River. I'll have to try and walk it all the way to Kitasenju someday lol. That or maybe take it all the way to Chichibu in Saitama. I know it's a really long river. I don't think I could make it that far though sadly. Kind of disappointed that summer is basically over already but at the same time I'm excited for the autumn colors this fall. Hopefully I can get out and visit some temples and shrines out in the countryside or something. I saw some photos like that mostly in Kyoto but I'm sure there are some places nearby Tokyo or in the Kanto region in general where I can see some nice scenery. If not then I'll just have to go somewhere and find it!

岩手県の折爪岳のヒメボタルの写真です。ホタルを撮影する時には、電灯も虫除けスプレーも使用禁止なので、真っ暗闇の中で蚊やブユと戦いながらの撮影でした。

岩手県の小岩井農場の菜の花畑の写真です。女性の後ろ姿が初夏らしい爽やかな雰囲気のストーリー性を持たせてくれています。
