558.@Samu uu

Before dawn, eastern sky seen from a nearby square.
As Jiro fully recovered from summer fatigue hurries me, the morning walk is at this time frame.

557. MD-902

A shot of last week. At a nearby square.
Its frequent comings and goings and un-helicopter-like low noise have made the neighbours almost unconcerned about the visits.

556.@Poor visibility

A breakwater in front of Inage yacht harbor today. Warm weather brings about the poor visibility.
The exact name of this pier seems to be "Kemigawa-hama east jetty".

555. 40th anniversary

Today is parents and kids day of our soccer team.
The club was founded in 1982. Thus the next year is 40th anniversary.

At the time, of course, no J-league existed. The Kashima Antlers predecessor Sumi-Kin was merely a minor team in JSL 2nd Div. The appearance in the "World Cup" had been a dream beyond dreams.
It is important to proceed things with a clear insight to 20-30 years ahead. Well, unfortunately, no time for
tosi-yori (the aged) any more.
554. Sunspot number today

NICT sunspot number data as of today.
It suddenly started rising. Hope it continues.

A shot during the evening walk.
Expected the weather would improve but it rained thereafter.

552. December terminator

A terminator familiar to radio operators.
When the winter solstice approaches, it shows a bell pattern. A screenshot of yesterday morning.
=2021-12-11 sat terminator/screenshot=

This shows my trial to check the terminator for December morning by a globe at hand.
It results in the above pattern when indicated by the Mercator projection.

BTW this is the pattern on the autumn equinox day.

551. An iron casting

A decoration of a nearby bridge railing.
The iron casting clearly distinguishes the characteristics of the two fishes,
funa and
koi.

550. Maximum luminous intensity of Venus

The venus shining in the evening sky since around summer is said to be at the highest brightness today.
A shot during the evening walk with Jiro. Surely it is brilliant comparable with the lights of the buildings.
