Jupiter-Saturn close approach

Venus:23Dec 2020/6:15

Jupiter and Saturn will be closest for the first time in 397 years。Apparently there was also a chance that the moon would be included in the picture.。The next close approach will be in 2080.。For many people, this will be their last chance in life.、Let's take a look for now。

The closest approach was on December 21st.、It's still fine for 1-2 days (but it'll go away quickly)。I haven't seen it yet, so it's about tonight.。from evening to night、It's the southwest sky。

Unfortunately, the photo is not there.、Venus walking (morning star)。Maybe it was because I was out of breath、It's blurry。56 minutes later:20disappears in the brightness before sunrise。Wood and earth are close、Even an old astronomical telescope that a child bought.、I think it would look pretty good if it was repaired.、can't be in time。However, there are various meteor showers throughout the year.、There are many celestial phenomena。Inside the Corona、It's good to expand your mind to the night sky。

The path from “beautiful Japan” to “crazy Japan”

Autumn leaves at Sekijuku Castle Park, Chiba Prefecture

The autumn leaves are beautiful this year、I've heard it on the radio over and over again.。Even when I walk around the neighborhood, I don't feel anything special.、I think it's pretty pretty。I went to the nearby Sekijuku Castle Park by car.。It's 25 minutes away by car、You can go there in about 45 minutes on a regular mamachari bicycle (about 20km round trip)。

I arrived around 3pm、It was already close to "sunset"。Even if you subtract the "redness" of it、The autumn leaves still have a mid-autumn feel (photo).。I don't hear that this year will be a warm winter.、It may be an ``exception'' following last year's ``exceptional'' warm winter.。The bright sunshine is warm、It was incredibly calm considering it was between 3℃ and 14℃.。

On the other hand, I also saw a sad reality.。This park is proud of、One of the largest Kobushi trees in the Kanto region has finally rotted away.、There was no trace left to see (the photo is too painful)、(will not be published)。next to this tree、I think we made a lot of memories、I was deeply moved for a while.。

I thought about quitting writing, but、I'll write it down for the record.。Spread of coronavirus infection and GoTo campaign。While keeping the slogan "Working for the people"、Suga Cabinet “refrains from providing explanations”。inherited from Abe、“Fake boom (only stock prices)” due to the Bank of Japan’s unlimited purchases of government bonds、Suicide rates (especially among young women) will significantly increase as expected due to work style reforms、Increase in unemployment rate (not due to coronavirus)。Olympics (free/paid volunteer) and “Pasona”)、Shallowness of the media's perspective regarding the Crown Prince and Princess、There's no end to this, etc.、“People’s common sense” that the cabinet approval rating will not decline。No.、There's not enough space here。(2020/12/01)

「ほうとう」を食べた日

昇仙峡 2013

パソコン上で資料を検索中古いスケッチを見つけた絵画教室の数人と日帰りで昇仙峡(山梨県・甲府市)に行ったときのものだ同じ構図のもの中央の水面だけのものなど4枚ほどあった

構図も面白かったが何より水面の美しさに眼を惹かれた。after、何枚も水面の泡立ちや流れていく小さな渦を明るい水面暗く深い水面などを中心に描くようになったそのきっかけになったのかもしれない

Above all、「元気だったんだなあ」と思うこの場所まではきっと細い山道を数十分は歩いたのではないだろうか(ほとんど忘れてしまった)。On the way home、川べりの食堂で名物の「ほうとううどん」を食べたことはよく覚えているが

身体が元気だと感じ方も元気になる。I feel like that。コロナになんか負けていられないまた外でスケッチしたいと思う
