It is said that the canal was built in the 17th century. It crosses from Rennes, one of Brittany’s central cities, to Dinan, near the English Channel. I love walking along the canal and it is not exceptional. Many people enjoy walking, running, cycling and cruising on weekends. If you are interested in those type of activities, the canal would give you 79km length happiness.
I hope my challenge is accepted by LAPC hosts. This is my first participation to the challenge. I don’t usually take minimalism photos but, indeed, I really love those. Several years ago, I used to take simpler pictures with my heavy digital SLR and I was always disappointed by them probably because I never imagined about the outside of the frame. Now I learnt that a simpler thing sometimes means more complex another.
Last two years, I was always looking for safer places to spend a week-end and my conclusion was nowhere. What is the meaning of ‘safer’, that has been one of most difficult questions. Whenever I visit a park, I feel both fresh air and vague anxieties simultaneously. I learnt that individuality is a part of the general public. At least until last week in France, the garden was open to public who wearing a mask and then now, you don’t need to wear any mask with your own risk. That’s life.
In winter, it looks as if it were a small way at a countryside and it is true that there’s mostly no houses around here. A cloudy day, though it is always a bit rainy from November to March, may give you rather sorrow impression. There are dark water here and there, and you cannot hear even a sound of church bells because it is too far a way. However, it is not what you see. Those ponds are actually the sea. It is a part of the tidal flat and you are looking at a salt pan. In summer time, you will see a beautiful white salt and, of course, a lot of tourist here.
After raining several weeks, a colour of light blue has been back to the sky. Still the winter light is not enough strong to see underfoot and a path to a small church is in sullen silence. And then, all of sudden, I find a bright sea ahead, a view from a narrow place to the next days.
If you are from/in East Asia, you may think animal’s theme in the beginning of the new year suggests the Earthy Branches or Zodiac. Though most of such people celebrate it with the lunar calendar, in some cases such as Japan, January the 1st is also the date of changing to the next branch, that is, 2022 is the year of Tiger. I have read a lot of blog pages featuring a tiger but I haven’t had any opportunity to take a picture of tigers. Instead, I propose a picture of squirrel. It should have been so busy for taking its breakfast. Sorry for bothering.
First of all, I’m in neither positive nor negative position on CBD. Perhaps, I should say slightly negative on this yet because the discussion always goes a bit vague in the end. Secondly, I don’t think the ad sign is funny in terms of both literal and implied meaning. However, I still have a bit strange but funny feeling from the shop window.
So, this is Christmas. You are looking out of a window. It snows. Probably it is very cold outside. Somehow a sense of perspective seems wrong. You may be outside of a warm house. But where.
