体験が大事 / Experience is first

fine ice。Red is cyclamen petals

Cold waves continue to cover the whole country。This cold wave is on a completely different level than before.。Not only was the amount of snow that fell on the 21st a record in the Kanto region,、The snow quality was also comparable to ski resorts (in the Kanto region).。when it's raining、This is kind of amazing、I was feeling it。

On top of that、With the continuing cold wave、Despite the sunny weather every day、In the shade, the snow just hardens、It never melts。Today, a full week has passed since the heavy snowfall.、Even if I warm up the area near the faucet with boiling water, not a single drop of water still comes out.。A bucket of ice was placed under it (photo)、When I measured it, the thickness was close to 17cm.。36 years since moving to Saitama、I've never seen ice this thick at home.。

global warming。I feel that way based on data from just the past century.、If the entire history of the earth was replaced with the entire body、I'm still just looking at the tips of my eyelashes.。science is showing great results、I don't think there will be anything else worth believing in in the future.、Still under development。We are at the stage of partially confirming the "experience" that humanity has passed through.。

danger of life、Premonition of disaster。it's not science yet、It is engraved as human (animal?) intuition in our DNA (it should be).。take care of that first。And cherish that little experience。rather than being stubborn、give a little priority。

 

 

冬が来れば思い出す

オジロワシ舞う

It's not "I'll remember it when summer comes"、When winter comes, there are many things I remember。

Footprints of animals and birds dotting the snow。After the round body of a pheasant that lands with a thud, as if crashing from the sky.。A throbbing run (sliding)、The moment of takeoff、The faint traces of the tip of a feather scratching the snow beneath the weight that finally floated。

stop、Turn around a little, as if thinking of something.、A dotted line that starts walking again。every time you step out、catch a little bit of deep snow。It rolls and leaves a faint line。The soft hollow、This shows that the fox had a brief respite there.。A small animal half buried in snow、walk in a winding manner。those images、One of the joys of winter is being able to experience the experience half as an animal.。In a thicket of shrubs that have shed their leaves、Wild pears remain undiscovered by birds.。it's a feast from heaven。

大湊線 / JR Oh-minato line

野辺地駅 上り八戸方面を見る

the day you go home。I rushed to the hospital in the morning.、Have a car take you to Noheji Station。It's snowing in Noheji。The cedar forest on the right is Japan's oldest railway snow protection forest.。There is a major base for the Japanese Navy in Ominato, Mutsu City.、This is to prioritize transportation there.。Noheji is a small town、Towards Aomori and Shimokita/Hakodate、An important turning point towards Hachinohe/Tokyo。

This snow protection forest was created to protect against strong westerly winds in summer and winter.、Noheji is an area with particularly heavy snowfall in this region.。From here to Ominato, it continues for more than 50km along Mutsu Bay.、It was also a military forest.。It still remains in some places、most are cut、Trains can now run while overlooking Mutsu Bay.。That much、Increased number of service suspensions and interruptions due to winter snow。People traveling by train to Shimokita in winter should be careful (strong winds in summer)。

Ominato Line is Japan's only、"Stray routes" that are not connected to any other JR lines。There are many unmanned stations covered in snow.。For first-timers, how to ride a train (two cars at most)、I need to check how to get off、I can't ride、There are times when you can't get off the train.。
