capturing in prose
I don’t like a flash.
(luckily, I don’t have a strobe light and my camera has no built-in flash lamp)
I don’t like a tripod
(fortunately, because my one is very old and heavy, I can’t take my tripod stand)
I don’t like a film-grain noise
(strangely, I have had no chance to post a night shot in a positive manner)
So, shall I say nighttime for an evening shot.

Here’s another my response to the Weekly Photo Challenge:Endurance.
It looked to be damaged heavily by acid rain.
My first entry is here.
To say endurance, Mt Fuji may not be a proper topic because it is not a dead volcano but just inactive today. Here Yokohama is 50 km far from the mountain and it is said that ashes from the volcanic eruption fell 10 cm (4 inches) several centuries ago. Probably as you know, the earthquake happens sometimes in Japan. One of the reason is the islands of Japan are on the edge of crustal plates and, in some cases, activities of volcanos are related to this condition. In order to make buildings endurable, ancient people chose a wood to build them instead of rocks.

Clear blue sky, vivid flowers, hot and humid air, it is the typical summer day in Yokohama. A crape myrtle, I posted a picture of on last Wednesday, is my most favorite summer flower and it tells a really hot days.
My home town was, so to say, a high-way of thunderstorm. Everyday in summer, I heard a sound of thunderbolt and smelled at the storm. Different from my home town, there are few chances of thunderbolts in Yokohama. Instead, I sometimes enjoy vices of cicadas like I did in childhood. Last night, I took some pictures of an eclosion of a cicada.
It is always exciting moment to see the wonder of nature.
Also it is always fun to harvest summer vegetables which soak up the summer.
and one of the pleasures of the summer would be coming at evening, end of the hot day.

Looking into the small white box in a rainy day, it seemed a container of bright sunny days; dazzling reflection from the sea, colourless fragments of the sea shore and uncertain memories inside the box.
Where shall we go this summer? This slightly pitted old suitcase takes me to an imagination of coming summer vacation. Still rainy.
If you want to open the container of sunny days, I thought, it must be bright, taken with high-key expression.
