après la pluie ~ after the rain

明け方どうやらひどく雨が降ったみたいで、風の音もすさまじかった(ように記憶している)。昨夜帰ったのが1時半ごろ、明日の朝もう一度古寺に行こう！と、目覚ましを5時半にセットしていたけれど、それはさっぱり役立たずで、ガバッと起きたらタモリアワーだった。ありゃ。すっかり雨も上がったけれど、急な冷え込み。それでもやっぱり行ってみると、2日前に比べて木々は多少寂しくなっていた。でも、地面に降り積もった椛にイチョウ。まだちょっと湿っていて柔らかいのも嬉しく、お土産だーっ、とばかりにガッサガッサと袋詰めにする。笑
今日はフィルム丸一本撮りきることはなかったけれど、テンションを上げてくれつつ、しっとり落ち着いた冬すぐそこの風情に嬉しくなって、写真を撮っていたおじさん、紅葉を見に来た年配のご夫婦と挨拶を交わす。

←は、これまた恒例の階段。＞ｍ＜　色は前ほど出ないけれど、コレはコレで柔らかい感じで好きやな＾＾

それにしても、乾燥しているために、地面はほとんど乾ききって、私の撮りたかった感じとはちょっとずれちゃったですよ。

Looked like it had rained and blown heavily in the early morning. I feel like I heard the sound of the rain and the window, because I was deeply asleep though I set my alarm on my cell but it was no use. I woke up at noon! I had decided to go and shoot at that temple again, so I went out. The sky was clearing up but the wind was still blowing hard. And it got suddenly cold. The trees had had leaves blown off and looked a bit desolate, but the ground was covered by fallen leaves, as you see from the photo on the left:) I felt happy to see that and put leaves in my bag to make them souvenir for my Mother and cats. I greeted to a man shooting there and an elderly couple who came to see the leaves. It was dry so the ground was dried up, so I couldn't take any photo as I had expected to, but I was quite satisfied. 

これまた恒例の構図。どんだけ撮ってるんや・・・て、ちゃんと自覚してるのだけど、刻々と色が違って見えたりして、どうしても撮らずにはいられない。やっぱり数年前にとったのよりも黄色が強い。



This is another photo taken from my favorite angle. I took many many of this! I know that, but I can't help it every time I see this sight...
