Snapshot No. 745-749


749. Aki, autumn

Sinkawa aki Nearby Sin-river.

At the usual bicycle lane.

Reed field has completely turned yellow.



Yurinoki / Buta-uma kouen At the usual square in front of my place.

Leaves color change has just started.




748. Possible to see the globe suspending in the dark?

Kasei 18 kai? A news of this morning;
"North ICBM height 7000km, distance 1000 km"

The altitude over the earth's radius of 6400 km will be enough to show us the round earth floating in the dark space.

So I made a picture with the distance ratio in mind. The right is the result.


The view angle is about 30 degree. Thus we can see the total view of the round earth.

For comparison, I added the ISS orbit with red color.

It is understandable that at the ISS's altitude, 450 km or so, we see only a part of curved surface of our planet.




747.@Which is the protagonist?

ebimo tank At the usual parking lot of a grocery shop close to the Inba marsh.

An unfamiliar tank bluntly occupies a car space.

Algae called ebi-mo is inside.
A waterweed with no particular trait?


ebimo tank 3 A label put on the tank side.

OK, O-kay,
The protagonist is not the water grass but this tank.




746. What being wanted?

Kaeru At night.
A kingyo basin at my place.
This critter shows up.

What it looks for;
Bugs coming to a light adjacent to the pool.




745. An ito-tonbo#1

Ao-ito-tonbo An ito-tonbo seen during the morning walk with Jiro.

The head to tail lenght is about 4cm. So this is larger than usual types.


Looks to be an ao-ito-tonbo. As 4 types like ou-ao-ito-tonbo are around at this area, calling it as ao-ito-tonbo genus is a safe choice.

ito-tonbo#1
Literally means "thread-dragonfly".
