“Down to the earth” … this is from the album title of Rainbow. I don’t like Ritchie Blackmore but I do like Graham Bonnet. That is why I had this Vinyl.

They say ev’rything can be replaced
Yet ev’ry distance is not near
So I remember ev’ry face
Of ev’ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released (Bob Dylan)
…Although I don’t like Bob Dylan, this song is very impressive.
But in this photo the light is coming from the east.

I wanted to put a sunflower together with the lion in one photo, but I didn’t have a good one, so used a dahlia instead. Anyway, a lion should be gold or yellow.

みわたせば はなももみぢも なかりけり うらのとまやの あきのゆふぐれ —藤原定家—
There are no flowers or autumn leaves around, in the autumn sunset of a thatched hut behind.
—Fujiwara no Teika—
Quoting this Waka-poem, I can say that almost all my photos are based on that thought. From subjects which have no beautiful flowers or attractive matter, I would like to make them beautiful or attractive, by controlling focus or angle or composition.
Our eyes can only see the scenery but the results of the photos can show us the beautiful scenes which actually exist in reality but are difficult to recognize.

When I was a toddler, we sang a song in the kindergarten every morning. Because the kindergarten was owned by a temple, it was a song to teach the children to pay respect to the roadside statues and dedicate the beautiful natural flowers to them.

A house in the weeds has stone statues (a so called garden gnome?) in its neglected overgrown garden.

I have had the thought about making one picture from two photos. And at last, I had the time to try it.
From my window — Pink cloud —
2019-07-04
This evening, after the rain, the sky was pink all over.
I’ve never seen the sky like this before, of course, before I’ve almost never seen the sunset sky.
(I think my Soligor has trouble with long distance focusing.)
And the rain in the morning. It is not failure focusing, but intentional focusing on the rain only.
This is with super-takumar 55mm1.8.
