アンテナ / An antenna

下北・尻屋崎にて

スケッチは太平洋を眼下に望む尻屋崎灯台から南へほんの少し離れたところに建っている高さ数十mのアンテナとその基部を描いた基部の構造物はちっぽけなコンクリート製の装置室だがなぜかここへ来るたびに(有名な灯台を描かないことはあっても)必ずこのアンテナは描きたくなる何かが無性に心をかきむしる小学四年生のバス遠足で初めて来た時もこれを描いたのを覚えているこのアンテナを見ると今でもその時とほとんど同じ気持ちになるから不思議だ

空にノスリ(中型の鷹)が飛んでいる遠くに背の低い松林が続きその奥で尻労(しつかり)の高さ23百mのl断崖絶壁が画面右から左に太平洋を押し出している私の絵としてはこれで完成毎日人と車の間で生活している私は最近少し疲れているこのスケッチを描くことが別世界に飛んで行く切符のようなもの…心のどこかでノスリに憧れているのかも知れない

荒れ地の木/ ”Tree of wasteland” Wild life Shimokita-7

ヤシャブシ / Yashabushi
ヤシャブシの実 / Nuts of Yashabushi

Дрэва для прадстаўлення Shimokita、ці будзе гэта 100% Hiba Калі апытальнік і。Hiba не шмат у Ааморы Hiba, напрыклад, скажам, але Tsugaru。Спецыялізаваныя вобласці Hiba бы сказаць, што Shimokita。бацькоўскі дом таксама ёсць гара Hiba、Прадаем і распілоўваюць яго、Дзед і бацька выканання так былі сілкавалі нас。Так бы мовіць, ёсць Hiba、Гэта як я вырас смактаць араматычнае。Існуе закон, які павінен быць дадзена любой цаной Hiba нумар адзін у сваім значэнні для мяне。але、Я дам «Alnus фірма» смелі тут。

If we have a questionnaires survey in Japan as what is the tree of representative Shimokita , it must be “Hiba ” trees that wii get 100 % of votes. As famous “Aomori-hiba” , but Hiba lives in Tugaru area in Aomori pref a little. It is the best location of product is Shimokita. My grand and my father have brought up our family by keeping Hiba forests and selling those trees. In a sense, it looks like that I heve grown up by eating “Hiba” trees and brething its beautiful perfume. So I know that I have to push it up as Nunber 1 of the tree of Shimokita. Аднак , I’d like to nominate “Yasyabushi” as No, 1 in this time.※”Hiba” is a kind of “Hinoki ” trees. This kind of tree is valued at the best of woods from the old time in Japan.

Alnus фірма з'яўляецца моцным дрэвам, якое расце ў любым пустцы。Глеба з'яўляецца стабільнай з тым, што гэта дрэва расце、Можна ўвесці наступны крок。Alnus Firma адводы і Gunegune、Інтэнсіўнасць ў якасці будаўнічага матэрыялу, без якога-небудзь、Далёка не прыдатны、Але, як ненавідзелі ў лакальнай вобласці, што гэта дрэва, якое перашкаджае развіццю。але、Alnus фірма Кажуць таксама быць капітанам звужаючы меч пусткі Прыходзьце падумаць двойчы。Дрэва, прысвечанае Новаліпецкага да наступнага пакаленню ў сэнсе。Прыходзьце прыпадобніць чалавеку、Я Гэта выдатны хлопец, не стамляюцца, нават Oyobi ў такіх、Ёсць таксама дрэва размяшаць да маіх грудзей у страху。

“Yashabushi” is very strong trees lived in all kind of the wasteland. The soil of damp ground is stabilised by this tree that live in. That wasteland will be good condition for people’s usu. However this tree itself is not only completely usufull at timber, but it also interrut grow other plant’s up. So it has been hatred by local people. Howevew, from the other point of view, Yashabushi is like a pioneer of opening bushes. So I feel like to respect it.

 

砂丘湖 / Sand dune lakes-Wild life Shimokita-6

東通村・大沼
東通村・左京沼
東通村・荒沼

「砂丘湖」とは砂浜が風などによって起伏を作り窪みに川が流れ込むなどして自然にできた淡水の沼である(新潟県佐潟など海流や波によって海中の砂が堤防のように盛り上がり出口を塞ぐサロマ湖や八郎潟など汽水湖とは出来方も異なる)砂丘湖自体も世界的に失われつつある貴重な存在だが生物的にも貴重な環境を作っている

Sand dune lake is a natural freshwater pond in a sandhill. It was shaped by wind. The wind had been carring sand and formed ups and downs, and then water stream into hollow places. It is not only very valuable existence itself in the world but also it gives important environment for biodeversity that’s being lost.

東通村には大小多くの「砂丘湖」がある(名前がついている沼だけでも13ある)東通村・猿が森の砂丘・後背湿地は日本の重要湿地500に選定されている(実は下北半島のほとんどの部分がこの選定を受けていると言ってよい)この猿が森砂丘(幅1~2km総延長17km)と少し内陸に入り込んだ砂丘を合わせた「下北砂丘」はほとんど知られていないが実は日本最大の砂丘であるという知られていない理由は砂丘の周辺を防風・防砂林が囲み人の目に触れにくいことと大部分を防衛省などが弾道試験場等に使用し立ち入りを禁じているためである

There are many dune lakes in Higashi-dori village. Named lakes are minimum 13s. Salugamori sandhill (1~2 km width, 17 km length) include the rear wetland in this village has selected one of 500 of the important wetland of Japan (Actually most of Shimokita peninsula is selected also). Additionaly, Shimokita sandhill (includ this Salugamori sandhill with the next ones) is really the biggest one in Japan. However almost all japanese don’t know of it. One of the reason is that this place is hidden from the roads by pine grove for protect the wind and the sand. The other one, here is off limited, because this ares has been useing for test site of trajectory of Ministry of Defence (MD).

砂丘湖自体は防衛省区域の外側にあり一部はほそぼそと漁業利用などもされているようだしかし防風・防砂用の松林も大きくなり沼に通じる道の多くは消えかけている人口減と高齢化はここでも進み学術的な調査なども今は行われていない

These are out of the area of MD. A few lakes of it look as useing fishery sometimes but not often. Most of the roads to go there is being lost by growing thickly weeds and pine grove. Creasing depopulation and ageing there. Academic reserch stopped now.
