一隅を照らす者、これすなわち国宝なり(最澄)
Lighting up a corner, this is the national treasure. (Saicho: Buddhist monk)

♯ and #
西洋音楽記号の「シャープ」(♯:横棒が右上がり)と、「ハッシュ」(#:横棒が水平)とが別物だということを、今日始めて知りました。単なるフォントデザインの違いだと認識していました。
最近、ハッシュタグという言葉をよく聞きますが、なんでシャープタグと言わないかと、不思議に思っていました。
電話機の#ボタンは、横棒が水平なので「ハッシュ」のはずですが、音声案内では、「シャープ」を押してくださいと言っています。国民のほとんどが混同しているようです。
Today, I learned that Western music symbols "sharp" (♯: horizontal bar rises to the right) and "hash" (#: horizontal bar is horizontal) are different things. Until now, I recognized both as just font design differences.
Recently, I often hear the word hashtag, but I had been wondering why they wouldn't call it a sharp tag.
The # button on the phone should be "Hash" because the horizontal bar is horizontal, but the voice guidance says like as "Press sharp button." Most of the people seem to be confused.
Today's topic was a Japanese domestic matter.

イルミネーション illumination
昨晩は雨。今朝、オールドレンズを通して草むらを覗くと、天然のイルミネーションが現れました。
It rained last night. When I looked at the grass through the old lens in this morning, natural illuminations emerged.

パンジー pansy
ひらひらと咲くパンジーが、寒さに意外に強いですね。
Pansies are blooming fluttering. They are tough against the cold unexpectedly.

フライト追跡 flight tracking
知っている人が飛行機に乗っているときは、フライト状況をリアルタイムで示すサイトを、逐次チェックしています。小学校時代、地震だと思ったら実際は旅客機の墜落だったことが、トラウマになっているのかも知れません。
While someone I know is on a plane, I always check the site that show flight status in real time. When I was an elementary school student, I felt an earthquake, but it was actually an airplane crash. It may be my trauma.

プリンセチア princettia
プリンセチアは、ポインセチアの新しい品種です。プリンセチアにも色々品種があり、その色は様々です。作出者の弁によると、ポインセチアにプリンセスのような華やかさを持たせたそうです。
私には、プリンセチアよりエネルギーの満ちているポインセチアの方が好みです。
Princettia is a new breed of poinsettia. There are also some breeds of Princetia, and their colors are various. According to the cultivator, they gave a princess-like glory to Poinsettia to make Proncettia.
I prefer the poinsettia, which is full of energy, than the prinsettia.

ポインセチア poinsettia
クリスマスが近づくとあちこちでポインセチアの鉢を見かけます。赤い葉が印象的で目立ちますが、、小さな花も良く見ると可愛いです。アヒル口のような面白い形をしたものは蜜腺です。
As we are getting closer to Christmas, we come across a pot of a poinsettia here and there. The red leaves are impressive and conspicuous, but the small flowers are also cute if you look closely. The thing that has an interesting shape like a duck mouth is the honey gland.

再帰 recursion
八百屋さんの店頭にロマネスコが売られていました。
細部に目を移していっても、同じ形を保っています。どうして野菜がこのような形になるのだろう。
Romanesco broccoli were sold at a greengrocer's store. 380 yen per piece.
It keeps the same shape even if you look at the detail part. I wonder why this vegetable has the shape like this?

最後の晩餐にマリア Mary is in The Last Supper
ヨハネは、実はマグナラのマリアという説があります。私にもどう見ても、ヨハネは女性に見えます。画像をいじってイエスを左へずらし、ヨハネのコピーをイエスの左脇へ嵌めると、寄り添い合うイエスとマグナラのマリアになります。
ところで、イメージ中央下にマントルのようなものが見えますが、なんと巨大な壁画の下に開けた通路だそうです。大胆なことをするものですね。
There is a hypothesis: John in the Last Supper of the wall painting is st. Mary Magdalen. John looks like a woman to all appearances for me.
When I made changes to the image, moved Jesus to the left, and placed a copy of John to the left side of Jesus, they became Jesus and st. Mary Magdalen snuggling together.
By the way, you can see something like a mantle under the center of the huge wall painting, it is a passage opened under the painting. They were bold to do such a thing.

陽光の中で in the sunlight
何ということのない風景ですが、今日は陽光の中、気持ちのよい散策ができました。幸せとは、そんなものかも。
It's a scenery without any character, but I took a pleasant walk in the sunlight today. Happiness may be like that.

干し柿 dried persimmon
熟し過ぎのものですが、大きな渋柿を入手できたので、干し柿を作ってみました。でき上がりは、市販品とは異なり、中がジューシーです。噛むと中身が垂れ落ちてきます。熟し過ぎの柿を使ったのが原因と思われまがとてもおいしいです。
I got big sour persimmons which became over-ripe, and I made those dried. The finished cakes are succulent inside, unlike commercial products. When I bite it, the center drip off. It seems to be caused by using over-ripe fruit, but it is very delicious.

ベンチにイチョウの葉 ginkgo leaves on a bench
モミジの写真の掲載が続いているので、今日はイチョウの葉です。ちらほら、イロハモミジの葉も混じっていますが、小さいですね。
I've been posting maple photos these days, so today's photo are gingko leaves. There ara a few leaves of Japanese maple among gingko leaves, but those are tiny.

色の変化 change of color
緑色の色素は、日光をよく吸収します。寒くなると、光合成の働きも衰え、過度の光の吸収はかえって害になるので、緑の色素は分解されていきます。一方、光をさえぎる赤色の色素であるアントシアニンが作られるようになり葉を守ります。
紅葉の色の変化の裏では、巧妙なからくりの化学変化がおきているのですね。
The green pigment absorbs sunlight well. When it gets colder, the photosynthetic function also declines, and excessive light absorption is rather harmful, so the green pigment is decomposed. On the other hand, the red pigment anthocyanins is made and it blocks the sunlight and protects the leaves.
Behind the changes in the colors of autumn leaves, there is a ingenious chemical mechanism.

怪しい木 suspicious tree
今にも泣き出しそうな空模様、柿の木は怪しく枝を張っています。
It's about to rain, judging from the look of the sky. Persimmon trees are spreading their branches suspiciously.

明るいレンズ high speed lens
明るいレンズは、ピント面が浅いので、人間の目と異なる世界が見えます。常識を取り払えば、新しい世界が開けるかもしれません。
A bright lens has a shallow focus, so we can see a different world from the ordinary. If we could remove common sense from usual day, a new world might be open.
