From the entrance of 万葉文化館

Today I went to an area called Asuka to see a photograph exhibition held there. One of my friends is a member of a photography group.
At this time of year, his group holds an exhibition. After enjoying the exhibition, I’ve found some photographs and painting are getting similar.

They use a technique to take photos of backlight or defocus purposely.

Anyway this is the event to meet my friend once a year too.

飛鳥に友人が参加している写真グループの作品展に行きました。毎年この時期に開かれるので一年に一度その友人に会う機会でもあるので楽しみにしています。展示を見て写真と絵画は似ていると感じます。写真は逆光やわざと焦点をぼかす技法で印象派の絵画の趣きを出しているように思います。飛鳥寺などに近い場所なので辺りを散策してみたかったのですが雨が降り始めたのでどこにも寄らず帰りました。

We come here to see a movie today.
As usual we bought the tickets of a movie starting around 6 pm to enjoy our nice and free time till the time.
Since this place has many shops, restaurants and a game arcade besides a cineplex, we can spend our free time here. Of course, my wife is spending her own time in the game arcade now. As for me, I enjoy sitting on a chair and taking a nap in a resting space here. Soon I’ll buy an ice cream that is one of my favorites here. And after seeing a movie, we are dropping in an tavern to have some meals and drinks.
Isn’t it a small but nice happiness ?

今日も午後から映画に来てしまった。いつものように6時過ぎからの映画の切符を買って、それまでの時間を好きなように過ごすのです。妻はもちろんゲームセンターです。私は待合室の椅子でうつらうつら気持ちのいいときを過ごしています。でもそろそろソフトクリームを買いに行くつもりです。ここのソフトクリームが気に入っているです。そして映画の後は居酒屋で食事です。
ささやかな幸せ!




It’s chilly today raining one whole day here in Osaka.
As it was extremely hot this summer, I still prefer this weather to the heat of the summer.
It’s not bad to have a rainy day once in a while. I spend calm and relaxed time.
今日はひんやり一日中雨です.
この夏が極端に暑かったので夏の暑さよりこの気候の方がましです。
たまには雨の日も悪くはない。
