Weekly Photo Challenge: Dreamy

201410-021When you’re traveling, a bad weather makes your way dismal time to time.
Strong wind may screw up your schedule or rain may discourage your challenge.

201410-020On the other hand, the rain clean up dusty air and shows a dreamy scenery.
If you want, of course, you would see even a perfect rainbow.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

201410-010At first, I got interested in the shape and color of this sign. It was a hot summer day, sky was blue and the metal was shining. The sign was looked like a part of summer.  Then, I took this picture with my iPhone but what was this?
It said “Lead Hook” which meant that you could hang a leash of your dog on the hook. Looking into the sign, its shape was a face of a dog. Interestingly, the sign said in Japanese, “please do not use for a big dog”.

I posted similar pictures. Let me do it again because I like this signs as a symbolic view of busy city.

The last one is a handmade road sign. I think it was a good combination of green and a sign.

All the pictures were taken with iPhone 5.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime

201409-040

I don’t like a flash.
(luckily, I don’t have a strobe light and my camera has no built-in flash lamp)

I don’t like a tripod
(fortunately, because my one is very old and heavy, I can’t take my tripod stand)

I don’t like a film-grain noise
(strangely, I have had no chance to post a night shot in a positive manner)

So, shall I say nighttime for an evening shot.

Weekly Photo Challenge:Endurance

 

201409-020To say endurance, Mt Fuji may not be a proper topic because it is not a dead volcano but just inactive today. Here Yokohama is 50 km far from the mountain and it is said that ashes from the volcanic eruption fell 10 cm (4 inches) several centuries ago. Probably as you know, the earthquake happens sometimes in Japan. One of the reason is the islands of Japan are on the edge of crustal plates and, in some cases, activities of volcanos are related to this condition. In order to make buildings endurable, ancient people chose a wood to build them instead of rocks.
