Bonne journée

rain drops

Winter, it rains everyday in Brittany. Everyone walks through the park with their raincoat collars turned up, their hands in their pockets, and their heads down. A bench is not a place to sit, but a basket to catch fallen leaves. That’s what I loved.
Winter, it turns to be sunny in Yokohama. A bench is a place to catch the sun to be warm but still always dry and cold wind blows.

ブルターニュの冬は毎日雨が降る湿った冬です。誰もがコートの襟を立て、ポケットに手を入れ、俯いて公園を歩いて行きます。でも美しい季節でもあります。

This is a scheduled post and I’m not there this week-end.
これは予約投稿であって、この週末は不在です。

Photo, photo challenge

winter light

Close to a foot of Mt. Fuji, at the place known as Hakone, I was walking along a lake with my small camera and looking up at the gray sky. The wind was not so cold but obviously I should have no chance to be warm thanks to the sun light. A sweet autumn was going away just in front of me. I understood that anyway the winter will come anywhere after autumn and it might be more bright here than west France where I lived. I knew but I was longing for bright winter sky since a spring day in 2020. Perhaps it may be coming among a bit dark clouds.

The Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Exposure

ここしばらく、秋から冬と言えば雨の北西フランスで過ごし、いろいろと難しい時期もあって、カラッとした青空が恋しくなっていた。人の少ない箱根芦ノ湖のほとりを歩きながら、つい灰色の雲の隙間から溢れる弱い光を捉えたくなった。
