Bonne journée, Photo, photo panoramique

Photo panoramique: hardly imagine

201403-085After the heavy rain, now the sun is coming back in Yokohama.

The above picture was taken last week. Summer scenery is often pastel colored especially in southern islands. So, when I found this wall, I thought the picture taken there would be an interesting. The sunlight was already strong like a summer and the color looked good. As a result, I learned that it is still spring, hardly to imagine tropic islands.

Here’s another picture typically in spring.

ひどい雨だったが、ようやく横浜にも太陽が戻ってきた。

上の写真は先週撮ったもの。夏の風景は、特に南の島あたりだとパステル色が多い。なので、この壁を見つけた時は、写真を撮ったら面白いかなと思った。太陽光はすでに強いし、色も悪くない。だが、結果としては、まだ春だったということだった。熱帯の島々を想像するのは難しい。

よくある春の風景も掲げておく。

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threes

 

201402-050Hina-matsuri, known as Girls’ Day on March 3, is a special day in Japan, celebrating growing up. I don’t intend to explain it in detail here but, if you are not familiar with the custom, I recommend you check it out on Wikipedia which tells you better than me.

201402-051Usually you would see many dolls in a photo of hina-matsuri but, in recent years, simpler one has the preference.

One of the reasons might be simple and easy, that is, it is very expensive and space-consuming for present-day life. Before all, such a traditional custom is gradually missing and children are sometimes not interested in it.

Hina-matsuri is not a national holiday today. It is said that it was a kind of holiday until 150 years ago. Anyway, nobody pays attention, whether it is holiday or not, because it is a Japanese custom.
