Around whirl fourteen years have passed after I visited this town firstly as a business traveller. Since then, everything has been changed and nothing is different. Some good restaurants to spend a cheerful evening were closed and the tourist office that was here moved to another. Nevertheless, my favourite bakery store is still offering delicious corrosions and my old friends I missed for ten years suddenly talked to me on a street.
Probably it would be the best way to put two photos that are taken at different places and in different days because I live in two different places.

古い知り合いに街中でばったり会うとちょっと驚く。それが住まわせてもらっている異国の土地であれば尚更。

Honestly saying, this is exactly what I expected. I didn’t check focus well but I relied on my camera and tried to catch the smell of blossoms. Thanks to large aperture, unpleasant things were mostly vanished away.
Now cherry blossom is full bloomed and it’s comfortable to walk along the canal in the warmer air with respect to a social distance. A photo at bottom was taken with motion blur with intention of unexpected result. I prefer it, though.

フランスにもたくさんの桜があるが、案外ソメイヨシノは見当たらない。少しばかり懐かしさを感じつつ運河沿いを歩く。
お題には少し合わないかもしれないと思いつつ、個人的な思いで上の写真を持ってきた。下にはもう少し真面目に、モーションブラーでそれらしく。
