I Get a New Camera, Nikon CoolPix P600

The Red Circle Mark Points a Swimming Pool


I bought a new camera, Nikon CoolPix P600 the other day.

I took a test shot of swimming pool from home on a rainy day.

The picture shows rings of rain drips clearly on the surface of water.

The camera has given me quite satisfying quality pictures so far.

Cafe Tetto Grande

Chinese bell-flowers are blooming in the garden of the cafe.

Japanese furniture are placed inside the cafe. 

Taking a day off, I went to Cafe Tetto Grande in Mohka city with my wife a couple weeks ago.

The cafe was built by having renovated Japanese old farm house.

The cafe had a pretty big roof as was usual an old local farm house had.

There were beautiful flowers in its garden.

We ate pasta, Indian curry with rice, home made bread and fresh vegetable.

Yabusame, Japanese Traditional Mounted Archery Is Held





Yabusame ritual is a Japanese traditional mounted archery.

An archer on a running horse shoots three special arrows successively at three wooden targets.

The ritual was designed as a way to please and entertain the myriad of gods that watch over Japan, encouraging their blessings for the prosperity of the land, the people, and the harvest.

It was held next to my home the other day.
Two archers shot three times each; one archer lost the targets three times and the other hit all of them.

Japan Cup Cycle Road Race in 2014




Japan Cup Cycle Road Race was held in my town the other day.

Seeing the race as close as one meter away from them was far exciting than seeing from the top of a building.

I felt the wind of the cycle racers this year.
