Bonne journée

Bonne journée(29) : YEG, rose garden

201405-YEG08もうまもなく、横浜市の花、バラの季節。横浜イングリッシュガーデンの薔薇もちらほらと咲き始めている。

201405-YEG21秋薔薇の季節に比べると、他の花々も多く咲いているためか、まだ開花している薔薇が少なくても春らしく華やか(Weekly Photo Challenge)。

薔薇園の散歩がお目当てなら、天気の良い5月中旬から下旬にかけてが一番よさそう。でも、5月初めの今でも春は存分に楽しめる。

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring!

201405-002I already posted many ‘Spring!’ images such as Sakura(Cherry Blossoms), Tulips or Yokohama where I live. The spring for me is Yokohama with green leaves because of some reasons.

201405-001Though many of Japanese would say Sakura must be a typical spring image, honestly saying, I don’t like Sakura so much. It comes a bit unclean brown after a flower withers and give us a lesson of an ephemeral life. Spring could be an energetic season.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters

201404-044This old store seems to be abandoned as a business but maintained at a minimum. To read letters, it was a cigarette shop or a fuel store. A kind of grocery store where rice, alcoholic beverages and heating oil were sold was popular in Japan, at least, more than 30 years ago.

The name-board was repainted again and again and some letters are looked like a picture by multiple exposure. You could see yellow and black letters having similar shapes.

A Blue part on the left side of the picture would be a counter or showcase of cigarettes. Its graphics has a old style font both on Japanese letters and English letters.

You may find red checker board design at the lower part. It was like a mosaic and, probably, was a modern design. of course, I don’t know a blue part was painted with intention referring red checkers.

Though it is a bit difficult to explain some old letters, perhaps you could find traditional characters which is not used now.
