ご無沙汰です~^^

久々に撮りました。相変わらず無愛想なやつです（笑）

カメラはNikon D40 with 35mm1.8Gです。

D40の絵は好きだけど、少しでも引き伸ばすとノイズがひどくてて見れない。

新しいカメラ買おうかな～。

Haven't seen you for yonks.

these pictures are taken by Nikon D-40

I want a new camera that performs better.

 無愛想くんはなぜか上を見上げたときの表情が一番かわいい（多分これ何度も書いてる(笑)）。

I love the face. This is his best angle.

クロトン・ナビアとワイヤープランツ。クロトンナビアはすっかり赤色が消えて白と緑だけになってしまいました。でも白い葉も綺麗です。ワイヤープランツは小さな葉が淡いベールのように鉢を包む姿がなんともエレガント。今のところ一番好きな植物かも。もう少し繁茂するともっと👿見栄えが良くなりそう。コルディリネは根がつかずにどんどん抜けて葉が2本になってしまった。けっこうたくましい植物なのに、、何が悪かったのかさっぱり。
The plant that covers the pot with its vines with many small leaves is named Wire plant.
It looks beautiful like a veil made of light silk. I like this plant best now.

背景がよくボケてるぅ~。人相（猫相）悪い~！😂　
looks like a rogue xD
The picture with a blurred background, good one, I think.

Some celestial phenomena yesterday

Yesterday I found  something than usual in the sky at about 14:.30 pm while I was out. Take a look at the following pictures. Some cloud lines are in a radial fashion. This has been referred to as the earthquake cloud in Japan. The earthquake cloud is said to be a phenomenon seen before earthquake happen. The rows of cloud are likely to band together just above the earthquake center. Yesterday's clouds seemed to converge on the east-southeast of Tokyo. However it doesn't always presages a big earthquake. I see the kind of cloud a few times a year.

Another event.
 On my way home, I saw a long bright orange thing in the western heavens at about 17:00. What was this? At first I saw it as an airplane track reflecting sunset or something. However I was wrong because the track didn't grew further and disappeared out of sight within several tens of seconds. The airplane track wouldn't disappear so soon. Enlarging the ｐicture we can see the round thing in the head of the light. I wonder if it was a falling meteor or satellite.

Yet another..
This was just the celestial event without mystery. The International Space Station appeared 18:36 in the southwestern heavens and moved toward northeast, evanesced after three minites. It was orangey, looked like the evening star in size and brightness, faster than airplane. I tried to take a picture of it hastily but I couldn't unfortunately.





The International Space Station (ISS) is a huge manned construction located about 400km above the Earth. While it circles around the Earth at a speed of 17,700mph (or 90 minutes per orbit), Earth and star observation, or experiments and research are being conducted. ISS is intended to be utilized for more than 10 years after its completion. The primary purposes of ISS are to provide a facility where we can conduct experiments and research for a long term by utilizing environment peculiar to the space, to promote science and technology by utilizing the results of such research, and to contribute to daily lives and industries on the Earth.
