The Osanbashi pier, the international pier at Yokohama bay, has quite unique shape. Its height is enough low to show beautiful ships and wooden surface is in harmony with nature. When you walk on the pier, you may feel like strolling on a hill. It was designed by Alejandro Zaera-Polo and Farshid Moussavi.

Today it is hardly ever seen a bridge in use has arch shape. Contemporary technology makes it possible to build a flat one. Of course, as you know, it is usually arched slightly in most cases. That’s why I always feel lucky when I find the beautiful arch in a shape of bridge.

In most cases we are not aware of changes of nature especially in plants. Flowers always start to bloom suddenly and fruits become sweet in a morning without notice. However bamboo shoot is different from common plants. Delta of changing height in mathematical meaning is quite large.

This week I have no chance to visit any river delta and I couldn’t find any good photos. I hope you enjoy alternative view point.

My English dictionary illustrates the word by an example: Life is but a transient. It seems not so proper sentence to learn the word but a good lesson.
For a long while I believed a French word l’étranger, which was relatively well known in Japan, meant “transient” because its pronunciation sounds similar somehow. Now I know it means stranger but I’m also wondering if it is a same thing. A transient is always l’étranger like a life.
