Weekly Photo Challenge: Relic

7/12, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

Tutankhamen’s Peas is a well-known story in some junior school in Japan. It says Howard Carter, an English archaeologist and Egyptologist, found peas as one of buried items and succeeded at sprouting these 3000-years-ancient beans. Needless to say, it could be a kind of non-scientific claim even if it is true that some peas were found in the Tutankhamen’s Tomb but we should not stick to a scientific approach. I believe it is important for children to think about ancient life.
Tutankhamen’s Peas must not be a relic because it is still alive, not abandoned, it is surely edible.

Perhaps, we should say a relic for this. This old store was abandoned and only a small billboard says what it was. It says tobacco shop.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts

6/28, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

Flowers, going to be seeds, of Japanese maple were swinging in the bright Sun light. At first, the seed is crystal-clear pink. Though autumn colored Japanese maple leaves are well known as a typical scenery of Kyoto or Kamakura, I could say pink seeds in early summer are beautiful.

Taking a walk in summer contrast is one of good ways to refresh myself.

between the blue sky and the green earth, we missed something.

between the silver sunlight and the gray civilization, we got something.
Is it really what we need?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra

It was too hard to take a picture of one baby locust by using my old macro lens; difficult to control a focus, the front lens moves while focusing, no stabilizer and too many extras. Now I learned the reason why the locust population soars dramatically in summer.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Room

6/7, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

“From the four walls that currently surround you”, eh? four walls? Traditionally, walls of a house in humid climate area are not fixed. A line separates a room from another could be a wall and also a kind of sliding door. In other words, a large room could be separated into small rooms flexibly by doors or something like partitions.

The second photo was taken in a Boeing 777-300.

Interestingly, I found that FOV was similar to the first one but why? One of the reason is, perhaps, in both cases, better usage of available space are always required.
