Monochrome vertical position photo. Above the photo, the moon, which is close to the first half of the month, is floating vaguely, and the light spreads into the surrounding clouds and shines like a full moon. The middle looks dark, but there are a lot of clouds floating around the moon. You can see the sea at the bottom of the screen, but the surface illuminated by the moonlight is wavy. There is a road junction in front of the sea, and the road illuminated by streetlights is shining brightly because of the rain. ---- モノクロの縦位置写真。 写真上の方に、半月に近い月がぼんやりと浮かんでいて、周りの雲に光が拡散して満月のように輝いている。 中間は真っ暗のように見えるが、月の周りも含めて雲がたくさん浮かんでいる。画面下には海が見えるが、月明かりに照らされたその表面は波立っている。海の手前に道路の分岐点があり、街灯で照らされた道路は雨に濡れたせいで明るく輝いている。

A Christmas tree placed at the entrance of one of the buildings

#XmasTree
City at night. In a corner where buildings are lined up, the slope in front of you is steep, and a man is walking from the top right to the bottom left. You can see the Christmas tree standing in the room next to the entrance on the first floor of the building in the back right. I can't see anyone other than the man going down the hill, but the light is leaking from the office buildings that stand in front and behind. ---- 夜の都市。 ビルが立ち並ぶ一角、目の前の坂は急勾配で、そこを右上から左下に向けて男性が歩いている。右奥のビルの1階入り口脇の部屋にクリスマスツリーが立っているのが見える。 坂を下りる男性以外に人は見えないが、前後に乱立するオフィスビルからは光が漏れているので、まだまだ働いている人たちがたくさん居る時間帯なのが分かる。

Black and white photo. The show window of a building in Ginza is decorated with an ULTRAMAN wearing a Santa hat. ULTRAMAN's colors are red and silver, so they look like Santa's outfit. ---- モノクロ写真。 銀座のとあるビルのショーウィンドウに、サンタの帽子をかぶったウルトラマンが飾られている。ウルトラマンのカラーは赤とシルバーなので、サンタの装いに似ている。

If you look up to the second floor of the building, you can see a Samoyed looking outside from the large window of the dog cafe where you can interact with a dog breed called Samoyed. In the upper right corner of the window, there is a large characterized Samoyed. ---- モノクロ写真 世界的に有名な原宿の竹下通りにて。ビルの２階を見上げると、サモエドという犬種と触れあえるドッグカフェの大きな窓から一匹のサモエドが外を見ている。窓の右上にはキャラクター化したサモエドが大きく掲げてある。

Black and white photo Chojagasaki(Cape "Chojya" ≒ "Tycoon") Coast on a sunny day. Around the center of the screen, the low tide from the coast and the waves from the sea collide and collapse. You can see the tip of "Chojagasaki" from the top left to the middle of the screen. It is famous that Daido Moriyama and Takuma Nakahira had a photo discussion here in the past. ---- モノクロ写真 晴天の長者ヶ崎海岸。 画面中央あたりで海岸からの引き潮と海からの波がぶつかって崩れている。画面左上から真ん中あたりにかけて長者ヶ崎の先端が見えている。 森山大道と中平卓馬が昔ここで写真談義をしたことは有名である。

Takanawa Gateway Station at 13:15 on weekdays. The rail extends from the bottom of the vertical position photo to the top 3/4, and the end of the rail is bright. There is a floor and a shop leading to the ticket gate on the top 1/4. The long stairs and escalator leading from the floor to the platform are shown on the right. On the left side, you can't see well because the glass window covers the front. There are only a few people on the platform right after the up and down trains leave. ---- 平日13時15分の高輪ゲートウェイ駅。 縦位置写真の下から上3/4までレールが伸びており、レールの先は明るくなっている。上1/4はに改札に繋がるフロアとお店がある。フロアからホームへつながる長い階段とエスカレータが右側に写っている。左側はガラス窓が手前まで覆っているためよく見えない。 上りと下りの電車が出ていってすぐのホームには数人の人がいるのみ。

Black and white photo. Vertical window glass are lined up all over the screen. The bottom right of the screen shows the head of the tree, so you can imagine that window glass are lined up below and above this screen. Another building is reflected in windows on the left half of the screen, and you can see that there are many windows lined up there as well. ---- モノクロ写真。 画面一面に縦長の窓ガラスが並んでいる。画面右下には木の頭の部分が写っているので、この画面の下にも上にも窓ガラスが並んでいるのが想像できる。 画面の左半分の窓には別のビルが映り込んでおり、そちらにも窓がたくさん並んでいるのがわかる。

Color vertical position photo. Four yellow lines are drawn from the left to the bottom right of the road, and the asphalt in the upper half is blackened by the rain the day before, but the lower half is the morning sun, and the moisture has already evaporated. Yellow and orange dead leaves are falling all over the road. ---- カラーの縦位置写真。 道路の左から右下に向かって黄色い線が4本引かれており、その上半分のアスファルトは前日の雨で黒くなっているが、下半分には朝日が当たり、既に水分が蒸発している。道路全体には黄色やオレンジの枯葉が落ちている。

Black and white photo. There is a fence diagonally from the center of the left to the front 1/3 of the right hand, and on top of that, near the center, a seagull is resting its wings while asking how we are doing. The other side is invisible in the shadows, and only the seagulls and the fence are in a state where the light hits. -- 白黒写真。左中央から右手前1/3辺りへと斜めにフェンスが立っており、その上中央付近に一羽のカモメがこちらの様子を伺いつつ羽を休めている。対岸は影で見えず、カモメとフェンスにのみ光が当たった状態である。

A picture of a rainy day taken in a monochrome vertical position. Shops are lined up on the left side of the alley, with signs of dentists and signs of famous sushi restaurants. It's a nostalgic alley, but you can tell that the road is new halfway through the wetness of the rain. At the end of the road, there is a construction security guard, and the back is covered with white construction panels. In addition, you can see buildings in the back, so this is the only spot left behind by time. -- モノクロ縦位置で撮られた雨の日の一枚。 路地の左側には店が並んでおり、歯医者の看板、そして「寿司政」の看板が写っている。何となく懐かしい感じの路地だが、道が途中まで新しいのが雨の濡れ具合でわかる。 道の先には工事の警備員が立っており、その奥は白い工事用のパネルで覆われている。さらにその奥にはビルなどが見えるので、ここだけが、時間から取り残されたスポットになっている。

Black and white photo. The bay area under a cloudy sky. You can see high-rise buildings and high-rise apartments in the back. There is a canal, and the back and front are connected by a "rainbow bridge". In front of it, most of the land is under construction and construction equipment, and in between, the newly built road is across from the left to the front of the right, and you can see the truck running. ---- モノクロ写真 曇り空の下の湾岸エリア。奥の方には高層ビルや高層マンションが見える。運河があり奥と手前とは「レインボーブリッジ」で繋がれているのが見える手前はほとんどが工事中の更地と工事器具、その間を新しく作られた道が左奥から右手前にかけて横切っており、トラックが走っているのが見える。

You can see a very bright room against the darkness outside.

If you look closely, there is a bicycle parked under the window. Is it the owner's?
