Snapshot No. 745-749
749.
Aki
, autumn
Nearby Sin-river.
At the usual bicycle lane.
Reed field has completely turned yellow.
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?
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?
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?
A label put on the tank side.
OK, O-kay,
The protagonist is not the water grass but this tank.
746. What being wanted?
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
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".
