long long night

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



this long long night -
even the moon
feels pale



.................................................................................



hoping for no clouds
in the sky
in the mind


There should be an eclipse visible in our region, from around sunset at 17:00 until 18:00. Let us hope the weather is fine and the full moon is visible!


Unfortunately, it was raining all day and most of the night.
We could only see a glimpse of the eclipse on TV, from Hokkaido.


Later in the night,
the full moon came out for a short while, immersing the lowly clouds in the valley with a whitish shimmer ...




. Winter solstice (tooji) .
