Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs
At first, I got interested in the shape and color of this sign. It was a hot summer day, sky was blue and the metal was shining. The sign was looked like a part of summer. Then, I took this picture with my iPhone but what was this?
It said “Lead Hook” which meant that you could hang a leash of your dog on the hook. Looking into the sign, its shape was a face of a dog. Interestingly, the sign said in Japanese, “please do not use for a big dog”.
I posted similar pictures. Let me do it again because I like this signs as a symbolic view of busy city.
The last one is a handmade road sign. I think it was a good combination of green and a sign.
All the pictures were taken with iPhone 5.

Weekly Photo Challenge:Endurance
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.

Dialogue (not a part of WPC)
A dialogue among adversaries is always the most important ways to go better. However, it is sometimes difficult to have it in nature. Here a mantis is going to take a brunch and, for him, the dialogue is not useful any more.
You can’t find anything? You can find his eyes at the center of the picture and a green grasshopper is slightly left and lower 1/5 from the bottom.
Here’s another one. His lunch seemed a cicada.
Not for WPC but could be. (Previous one)
