Bewildered moment this week:
At the skin doctor, first an assistant asks some questions and fills them into the computer, then says "wait for the doctor" and leaves me alone with the unlocked system. 5min, would have been enough to lookup data of other people.
Awareness for these things is low in #japan , I touch on this in https://blog.fluxcoil.net/posts/2020/10/japan_tech_interactions/

This looks like fun!
In North America, we have rails-to-trails, turning old rail lines into bike and hiking trails.
In #Japan, they kept the rails...
The Kamioka Line, discontinued in 2004, is now a โrail-mountain bikeโ attraction known as โGattan Go!!โ
Life is Cinema.
Shot this up at the wonderful Tamagawa Sengen Shrine a couple of days ago.
Six vertical shots stitched into a cinematic panorama.
I like longer lenses and how they render the world, especially when shot with the aperture wide open.
You can't really get the same look shooting the whole scene in one shot, with a wide.

The word 'kลyล' (็ด ่), although used for all autumn colours, specifically refers to 'red leaves'. The word 'ลyล' (้ป่) describes 'yellow leaves', and the word 'katsuyล' (่ค่) 'brown leaves'.
Warm sunny days and crisp cold nights help leaves achieve their most vivid colours.

๐LEAF HUNTING๐
In Japan 'autumn foliage', depending on the reading, is known as 'momiji' (็ด
่) or 'kลyล' (็ด
่).
Originally the terms referred to any tree that changed colour for autumn, but over time they became synonymous with the maple (ๆฅ 'kaede')๐

Admiring the autumn foliage is known as 'momijigari' (็ด ่็ฉใ lit. 'hunting for autumn leaves') in Japanese๐๐๐๐
The 'gari' (็ฉใ) in 'momijigari' (็ด
่็ฉใ) originally referred to the capturing of wild animals and birds, but over time also came to mean 'harvesting', 'gathering' or 'picking' plants.
Another example of this is 'kudamono-gari' (ๆ็ฉ็ฉใ), which means to gather fruit.

"... across Japan the skies are clear, and the mercury is stuck in the high 30s and has twice broken through 40C this week. And that's just the official temperature - out of the shade it's often much hotter. Even though summer has barely begun, 263 places across Japan have seen temperature records broken in the last six days, according to meteorologist Sayaka Mori."
