Everything was going well. In the gentle sunlight, nothing was to be concerned. All I need to do was to think about the future, as a stranger there, in an ordinary park.
Horizontal lines are very stable. Even on the sea wave, when you see the horizon, you should feel somehow calm. Sometime, however, you may find that there are uncertain, vertical and unstable structure over there, and then, you will be consumed by anxiety.
This is the world we know, unfortunately and fortunately.

ボードウォークの水平な板を見ながらほっとした時間を過ごしていると、突然気がついたりする訳である。その向こうに曖昧に揺れる縦縞に。

When I was a naughty kid, I used to walk along a small brook to find something interesting. I had no particular reasons but it was my pleasure to see small insects, fishes or sometimes twinkling reflections. I found something into a cloud on a water, I missed something under the reflection. Now, I don’t have curious eyes but hopefully a small imagination.

子供の頃は水の中を覗き込んでは何かを発見することができたものだが、今はともかく興味深いものは何も見つからない。その代わり、気のせいなのかもしれないが、想像力だけはついてきた気がしている。

Most of things seems to have been back to ‘normal’ as we used to do one and a half year ago in France. You will hear a lot of voice of chatting everywhere when you visit here with two passports, for nationalities and vaccination. For me, I’m still rather conservative and never go out other than morning.

As suggested, the picture was take by iPhone and mostly not edited. Interestingly, beautiful orange colour was missing after several copy and conversions.

すっかり戻った日常は、1/3の慎重派と2/3の夏を楽しむ人々が入り混じった少し違った日常となった。数字はほんの少しだが急速に悪化に転じ、誰もがその不安に蓋をする。早朝の誰もいない街に安堵する日常。

Your vacation is coming within just one or two months and you may be wondering if you are really possible to spend your cheerful time somewhere you still don’t know. The sanitary situation seems better, you have a lot of ideas, you have been injected. Of course, you know, the crystal ball only tells the future. 
Restaurants I know seems ready to serve. Everything has been prepared but just it is always uncertain. 

何もかもがよくなっているようで、何もかもが不確かな今日、レストランの準備は進む。
