The temperature in Yokohama is descending gradually and Winter will come soon. North mountains are going to be white within one month. The blue frag is for a giant slalom of ski and, as you see, it would be difficult to know how it is going. This week, I prepared four pictures saying Descent.

Today we use electric power in any time without awareness. Even a car doesn’t work without electricity which is produced by itself. Needless to say any smartphone has a battery and connects to the base station which requires power. When the mega quake happened in Japan few years ago, many people tried to find an active base station and power supply but it was difficult.
When you trip to other countries you don’t know well, perhaps you need to find power outlets other than your hotel. One of ways would be to find a Seattle style cafe but you may learn it isn’t always easy to do at every street corner. Even if you fortunately knows where power outlet is, perhaps you may find yourself having forgotten to bring a proper plug. This is actually a real story of my friend. The shape of plugs in Europe is different from Japanese and North American one.

I imagined what my favorite album was or which kind of music I loved. Wagner? Yes but no, probably cover art should be an image of middle age, which is just ordinary. How about the Latin Jazz? seems not so good. OK, let’s try to make 60’s with new photos.
Then, I retouched a picture of Coca-Cola track.
Alternative idea was to make a futuristic cover suitable for a book about social issues such like greenhouse gas. It also could be a cover art of 70’s progressive rock.
