Kombu Eatable kombu_kelp

2016/8/23. This morning is Fine. Bleesze from west. 24°c (highest will be 26°c). West wind has pushed Yamase ( is wet sea fog) away, and it has brought back the worthy weather for life of people here. This is kombu_eatable kelp. I have gifted it about 10 days ago. It was dried with good condition at that time, but it has been wet now. I have remarked Yamase is extremery strong damp.

Sunny for the first time in three days。The westerly wind pushes Yamase into the sea and brings lightness。The photo was given as a souvenir 10 days ago.、Oden kelp。It was crispy even before Yamase、I've been so unsatisfied in the last three days。I once again felt the enormous humidity in Yamase.。

今日もヤマセ / It’s foggy today

8/20、今日もヤマセ。The maximum temperature is 26 degrees、It won't go that far。The wind is weak, but today it's particularly thick fog。Visibility 100m。Some cars have headlights on。

Yamase is from northeastern to Hokkaido、A damp east wind from the sea blowing from early summer to early autumn、It's about sea fog。There are people who say that they are Yamase because they are playing against the mountains.、With a singular idea、I think the true origin of the word probably lies in the Ainu language.。

When Yamase blows, the sun is lost、It's not very good for plants (seaweed) or seafood。Is it just?、Annoyed climate makes people depressed。Lace flowers followed by white flowers、It was blooming surrounded by fog droplets。Summer is over already。

砂鉄 / Iron sand

Most japanese people don’t know that Shimokita is very rich area in Iron. Bluish sand is Iron in Photo. Walking on the sand in summer is like torture by standing on heated iron plate.

下北半島には豊富な砂鉄が眠っている。かつて製鉄所建設の計画さえあったほどだ。写真ではやや青みがかって見えるのが砂鉄。夏の陽に炙られた砂鉄の上を裸足で歩くのは、熱い鉄板の上を歩く拷問のようなものだった。
