Sunshine on the surface of pond.

Today, I went to see the colored leaves in the park of Narita-san Shinshoji-temple.
Many leaves of maple became red and orange-color.
It was so nice view.

When I took the picture near by the pond, I found the sunshine reflected on the surface of water.
I will show you some pictures.

The red colored maple leaves over hung on the pond.

Another area of the pond side, I also found the sunshine on the surface.

Near by the Ukimi-do which is a kind of shrine build in the water, many carp swim the surface of water.

And the wave reflected various aspect of sunshine.

When the carp splashed water, I found some water crown.

Thanks for your visiting.

See you!

Tanabata　（Star Festival） as Lunar Calendar.

Yesterday is a 7th. July as Lunar Calendar.
It's a Tanabata Day.
The Tanabata Festival is often called the Star Festival which is old Japanese tradition, but the origin is old Chinese tradition.

So I had taken some pictures of Galaxy (in another word, it is often called the Milky Way in western countries.)

You can find the bright star in the center of picture, it is Deneb which is the star of the first magnitude in Cygnus.
Around the Deneb, there are so many stars, it's just Galaxy stars.

On the right side of Deneb, you can find so many stars of Galaxy.

On the eastern sky, you can find Jupiter.
It is the 5th and the largest planet of our solar system.

Also on the eastern sky, you can find the Pleiades star cluster.
It is the star cluster in Taurus.
The old greek mythology says the stars are the 7 sisters.

The stars in the nght sky is so beautiful and romantic view.
Please see your own eyes!
