bright moon

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



It was about five thirty in the morning. I opened the curtains and saw bright light, like sunshine, on the rooftiles below me . . . but coming from the "wrong" side.
It looked so different from the usual early morning light on the tiles.
Then I looked up in the sky and saw the moon hang over there ... whow ...


frosty morning -
such a bright full moon
in the west

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 ...

I have always been delighted
at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try,
one more start,
with perhaps a bit of magic waiting
somewhere behind the morning.

Season of the Sea of Clouds 2010

November 17, 2010


sea of clouds -
my life in the middle
of nowhere

Below, all gone in white mist, on the horizon a few mountain tops with yellow and orange trees, above the sky covered in gray clouds but then
a sudden burst of pink spotlight, just one !

Next the whole cloudy sky turning pink.
Then the white valley mist suddeny lifting high up, as if pushed by a magic wind blower.

early morning -
an extra pink line

above the unkai sea of clouds, there is an extra pink line ...
autumn is coming fast now

MORE information



My neighbour called twon nights ago to ask if I had seen the aliens which where aiming their spotlights at our valley!
The two planets where shining so strongly in our absolutely dark night sky ... it was quite amazing.

Today it is a bit lighter when I took the photos, but if you look carefully you can see all the three of them.



December 02
Tonight, the moon is above the two stars!
Quite a change from last night!
The smiley face in the sky is gone already.

poetic morning

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


A teacher who can arouse a feeling
for one single good action,
for one single good poem,
accomplishes more than he or she
who fills our memory
with rows on rows of natural objects,
classified with name and form.


Johann Wolfgang von Goethe





morning snowfall -
the pink sky so vague
over the pines


This morning is rather poetic ...
and cold ... brrrr

Temperatures are dropping drastically, causing strong storm conditions in many parts of Japan.

Threatening Clouds

threatening clouds
in the darkening sky -
and then this FLASH




Right in front of my nose, an unexpected lighning struck the bamboo grove on the other side of the valley, and an immediate thunder brought it all to vibrate in a hellish symphony
