Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned (2)

201403-007These strange and organic objects are abandoned pottery clay. Usually I don’t like abrasive expression but I did that time. There must be many abandoned clay portions behind a piece of beautiful pottery. This was the reason of my unusual shot.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned

201403-010I know, I know. I don’t need to say I abandoned the game. It must be hard to do something here because here it is the Tunnel of the Circuit de Monaco where, as you know, the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix is held every year. A white man riding a bike seemed slower than Sir Jackie Stewart.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threes

 

201402-050Hina-matsuri, known as Girls’ Day on March 3, is a special day in Japan, celebrating growing up. I don’t intend to explain it in detail here but, if you are not familiar with the custom, I recommend you check it out on Wikipedia which tells you better than me.

201402-051Usually you would see many dolls in a photo of hina-matsuri but, in recent years, simpler one has the preference.

One of the reasons might be simple and easy, that is, it is very expensive and space-consuming for present-day life. Before all, such a traditional custom is gradually missing and children are sometimes not interested in it.

Hina-matsuri is not a national holiday today. It is said that it was a kind of holiday until 150 years ago. Anyway, nobody pays attention, whether it is holiday or not, because it is a Japanese custom.
