As you walk along looking at the ruins of the castle in winter, you feel as if time has stopped.
冬の城跡を眺めながら歩いていると、まるで時間が止まったかのような気分になる。
A Part of Mostly Monochrome Monday
capturing in prose

Winters around Tokyo are usually sunny, no snow, blue skies, dry air, and around 10 degrees during the day. The photo above was taken near Hakone, one of the famous tourist spots near Tokyo.
Probably quite a few people doesn’t think it’s a typical image of winter but it is for me. A Christmas market held at Yokohama at a daytime may be also looked a bit strange under the blue sky. But at night, it is no different from European markets. It snows once or twice a year in Tokyo. Temperature goes down to 0 – 2 degree, sometimes below 0 degree and the next day, you will see a blue sky. Obviously it would be good for children. When I lived in France, autumn to winter brought cold and wet air. It was not so bad for me. At least, it was good for my throat.
