上雪舞う中の松本城 長野県・松本市

長野県飯山市にて、かまくらの里へ。夕暮れ時の時間に見られるかまくらブルーが幻想的です。

I keep seeing pictures of the Shiroyone Senmaida Rice Terraces and I really just need to go and see it myself. I don't know what it is about rice fields but they're some of the most beautiful scenery you can find in my opinion. I think that's another thing I really love about places like Akita, Saitama, etc. It really just makes me wish summer was here already. I want to go outside and enjoy a barbecue at some park. Spring would be great too, I'd get some plum wine and eat some barbecue under the cherry blossoms. I always love seeing the rice field art too, so if I can see some this year I'll be really happy. I think I saw some in Akita but I didn't get a chance to see any in Saitama yet, so maybe I'll try and find some out there and go out for a visit.

今日は節分です。 恵方巻を食べましょう~ 今年の方角は南南東です。? 今天是日本的節分日 除了有拿豆子丟魔鬼象徵消災解厄外，還有吃惠方卷，朝著該年度福神方向邊許願邊吃！

モネの池綺麗だったな? また行きたい！

Evangelion really takes me back. I remember watching this when I was a kid and having no idea what was going on lol. I just remember seeing big robots fighting and thought it was the coolest thing. Come to find out the story was a lot more complex than I would have guessed lol. But then again I just thought the robots were cool. I remember watching stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Big-O, etc. etc. on Adult swim all the time. That was before I even knew what anime was. I just thought "man these shows are awesome" lol. It's interesting to think back on how much Japanese culture I was actually influenced by when I was younger without even realizing it. Maybe that's why I decided to learn Japanese in the first place. I was influenced by Japanese media without even realizing it. If that's the case then I'm thankful for it lol. Worked out great in the end!

氷点下で冷えた朝、車のフロントガラスに 変わった形の氷の結晶が出来てたので写してみました(^-^) バックの青空が、まるで海の中のようで神秘的で何だかロマンティックでした✨

Awesome photo. I've heard of Soma-Nomaoi before. I really want to check it out actually and see all the horse races and stuff. I guess they do drills that were used by the military back in the day which would be really cool to watch as well. I'm a huge fan of horseback archery and archery in general so if they have that that'd be awesome as well. I didn't know there were portable shrines as well. I'd have to read up more on the festival but it definitely looks interesting. I have a friend over in Fukushima Prefecture so if I could get out there and meet them when this is happening it'd be awesome. Hopefully corona has settled down by July, but if not then I guess there's always next year. I'll have to eat some tasty festival food somewhere else I guess ?

控え目ですが、サンピラーとダイアモンドダストのコラボレーションを撮影することができました。 寒い中ですが粘った甲斐がありました。 撮影地：長野県 霧ヶ峰

早朝、朝焼けに照らされる富士山を撮影しました。 前景の霧氷とのコラボレーションが素敵でした。 撮影地：長野県 霧ヶ峰

記録的大雪だ

夜明け前のマジックアワーの時間帯に丁度満月が輝いていました。 目の前の霧氷と合わせてシャッターをきりました。 撮影地：長野県

I love the reflection the bridge and surrounding treeline makes on the surface of the river in this photo. Really beautiful stuff. I'd like to visit Aizu-Wakamatsu because I've heard that Aizu-Wakamatsu Castle is awesome and also the local sake in the area is supposed to be really good as well. I'm not too familiar with the area but I know Aizu-Wakamatsu is surrounded by mountains and that Mt. Bandai is over there. Maybe that's it in the background? I'm not too sure, but whatever the case may be it's a really breathtaking photo. Japan's snowscapes really are a gift that keeps on giving. Especially this year there's a ton of beautiful landscapes like this and getting to see them posted everywhere is really great. Everyone has such amazing photos it makes me want to try my hand at photography ?. Maybe someday, we'll see lol

2021年1月に岩手県の平泉、中尊寺にて撮影。 金色堂前

Long day out today. Figured I'd check everyone's posts before bed and wow! I'd not heard of Mt. Yoshino, although I can see why Toyotomi Hideyoshi would have loved it. The scenery is truly beautiful here. I can't even imagine how beautiful the cherry blossoms must be if they're even more amazing than the snowy landscape in this photo. I suppose Kinpusenji Temple is the large building just to the right of the center of the photo. I'd love to give it a visit. It's Nara too, so hopefully I can see some deer during my visit. If not then I'll just have to stop by the park to watch people being chased for their crackers? Lovely place though, I'm interested in seeing what it looks like in Autumn as well. Japan never ceases to amaze me with it's colorful foliage so I can imagine Mt. Yoshino is no exception either!

北海道札幌市、とあるショッピングモールの駐輪場にて。 北海道においてソリが小さな子どもの移動手段になることは珍しくありませんが、自転車のない真冬の駐輪場にふたつ並ぶ鮮やかな色のソリがなんとも可愛らしく、撮影しました。 帰り道、このソリに楽しそうな小さな子どもと、買い込んだ荷物を乗せて家まで引いて帰る親御さんの姿が想像できます。

オムライス。芸術家になろうかな?
