Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move

5/10, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

It is said that a steam locomotive changed the way of industrials and our lives. Maybe it’s true. We can move quickly and sometimes we think the old transportation system was so slow that we couldn’t have a better life. Indeed, now we have a faster train.

But also it is true that we sometimes think our lives would be better if we move slow. Probably still we are on the move toward new civilization.

Even when we miss our way,I believe, we have to keep on going.

BTW, I don’t recommend you go the sea around Mont Saint-Michel without any professional guide. Sea water moves very fast.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring!

5/4, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

I 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.

Though 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

4/27, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

This 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.

A view on top of Pompidou Centre, Centre national d’art et de culture Georges-Pompidou in French, was like that. The picture was shot from an external staircase to the top floor where it is famous place as a scenic overlook.
