A Photo a Week Challenge : Funny Signs

First of all, I’m in neither positive nor negative position on CBD. Perhaps, I should say slightly negative on this yet because the discussion always goes a bit vague in the end.
Secondly, I don’t think the ad sign is funny in terms of both literal and implied meaning. However, I still have a bit strange but funny feeling from the shop window.

So, this is Christmas. You are looking out of a window. It snows. Probably it is very cold outside. Somehow a sense of perspective seems wrong. You may be outside of a warm house. But where.

このショーウィンドーを見ていると、なんだか遠近感がおかしくなってくる。自分は家の中にいて雪降る外を眺めているのかそれとも外なのか。森は近くにあるのか遠いのか。なんだか不思議な感覚である。

A Photo a Week Challenge : Sunrise

It’s winter. Even though the DST was over, you don’t see the sunlight before 9am. One good thing is mostly you don’t see any people neither. COVID-19 situation in Europe is getting worse and worse and afternoon is not a proper time to visit city centre. Nobody know what will happen next. However, you know, there is no night that doesn’t dawn. If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

この状況下では、夜明け頃は人と会わない貴重な散歩の時間。夜は必ず明けるからと信じられる時間。

Mostly Monochrome Monday #228

Small branches blanketing most of the winter silver sky tells coming new cheerful season.

銀色の冬空を覆い尽くす小枝が次の朗らかな季節を伝える。

After leaves fell, I learnt that a lot of small branches have been covering up the ground from strong sunlight in summer. Needless to say, it should be obvious, definitely no surprise, but it is just a part of knowledge from text books for common people. It can be a good lesson to walk in a forest. 

木々の葉が落ちて、夏の強い光から無数の小枝が地上を守っていたことを学ぶ。当たり前のことだが、それは教科書の知識。森を歩くことは楽しい。
