Lens-Artists Challenge #291: Cityscapes


I’m not sure why they say Yokohama blue but surely it shall be blue, probably not because of color of water, color of sky, color of people nor color of culture, but Yokohama is. As usual, someone is joging at a park next to the bay. As usual, a lot of tourinsts are dis embarking from a cruise ship. As usual, people are visiting there for weekend shopping. Even after a hundred years, nothing has changed. One very small difference is that I am part of the city.

Mostly Monochrome Monday #346


I wonder if the soft shine of the tip of the tree swaying in the wind and the vague shine of the metal reflect the same sunlight.

風に揺れる木の先端の柔らかな輝きと、金属のぼんやりとした輝きは、同じ太陽の光を反射しているのだろうか。

Mostly Monochrome Monday #345


You may feel like there’s a great place across the path, but the person who just passed in front of you may not even be there anymore.

この小道の向こう側に素晴らしい場所があるような気がしていても、たった今あなたの目の前を通り過ぎた誰かすらもういないかもしれない。

Lens-Artists Challenge #288: Window Shopping


日本語は下に Japanese text at bottom

The name of the shop was “Boutique Ephemer” and it seemed to be open for a limited time. There were signs all over the place asking you to feel free to enter, but for some reason I hesitated to go inside even though I had no plans to buy anything. The shop itself was decorated in Christmas-like colors, and just looking at it made me feel happy.
I’m a rather practical person and don’t mind window shopping at bakeries. In the end, I end up buying bread.

Lens-Artists Challenge #288: Window Sopping

(日本語訳)
そのお店の名前は「ブティック・エフェメール(儚いお店)」で、期間限定のようでした。どうぞご自由にお入りくださいといった言葉があちこちに書かれていたものの、何も買う予定がないと入りづらいものです。クリスマスみたいな華やかな店舗でした。どちらかといえば自分は現実派で、パン屋さんでもウィンドウ・ショッピングができてしまう方ですが、でも、結局はパンを買ってしまいます。
