Big moon

Super moon
スーパームーン















It was a day of super moon. Nice day to take moon photos without telescope.
Luckily the weather is perfect for taking photo.
It was still quite big when the moon was came up from behind the trees.
スーパームーンの日。この日は望遠鏡を使わなくても月の写真が綺麗に撮れる日。 
天気も運よく写真日和の日。
木の陰から出てきた時もまだ月は少し大きかったから上手く撮る事が出来た。

Moon event.

Lunar eclipse
月食

It was Lunar eclipse.
Earth is moving between sun and moon. This is why moon is turned to red.
Other name is blood moon.
今回は月食。
地球が太陽と月の間を通る為に、月が赤く見える。
ブラッドムーンと呼ぶらしい…

I opened shutter for 8 seconds.
You can see other star is moving and make the short lines.
シャッターを8秒間開けての撮影。
星の動きが見て分かる。短いけど、星の線になっているでしょ。 
 

I zoomed in the moon.
This time 5 seconds opened shutter.
It was just started showing normal moon.
ズームにしての撮影。
今回は5秒間シャッターを開けていた。
ちょうど元の月が見え始めた頃。


It was a spectacular show in the sky.
I thought I can not see, because of the location... but I am glad to see it...
素晴らしい天体ショーだった。
場所的に、観れないだろうと思っていたけど観る事が出来てとても良かった。 

Stargazing.

Special show of Mars
火星の天体ショー

It was a special night for Mars...
Mars was opposite of the sun and the earth was in between.
Every two years we could see bigger and brighter than normal.
火星の天体ショーがこの間あった。
太陽と火星の位置が正反対になって、地球はその間に位置する。
2年に1度の事で、火星はいつもよりも明るくそして大きく見える。

It was little bit light, so quality is not good, but I chose best quality one.
In the middle, most brightest red start is Mars.
周りが少し明るかったから、あまり良い写真が撮れなかった…これは、その中でも一番良く撮れた写真。 
真ん中の明るくて赤い星が火星。 

Triple Adventure Day

Adventure weekend.
週末は冒険の日。


Camping and many adventures were waited on the weekend.
We camped at Gheerulla (Mapleton Forest Reserve). It was dark when we arrived the campsite.
No one else was at the campsite. Just three of us. No lights and poor reception on mobile.
It was great experience. Very quiet. Retreat night...
キャンプと色々な冒険が待っていた週末。
グイルラ(メイプルトン保護林)にてキャンプをする事に。キャンプ場に着いたのは真っ暗闇の中。
キャンプ場は小さい所で、私達の３人以外は誰もいなくて、電気もなく、携帯の電波も殆ど届かない所。
とても良い経験が出来た。静かで、休養するには良い所かも…















Good morning birds. Singing birds were my alarm clock. (It was 4:30am.)
Well, I woke up before then and tried to back to sleep...
Came out from the tent and walked a bit...
Looked up the sky... There was the moon. Still bit dark.
おはよう鳥さん。鳥のさえずりが目覚ましに…(まだ4：30)
でも、その前に目が覚めて、もう少し寝ようと思っていたの…
テントから出てきて少し歩く事に…
空を見上げるとお月さまが…まだ薄暗いからかな。

Walked around myself...
We were came from this way, but it was dark. Now I could see what was there.
Little creek, rocky bike road, many trees and singing birds. It was really nice place to be...
I did little bit of yoga and meditation. Lovely day to start with even early in the morning.
1人でお散歩。
この道を通って来たんだね。昨日は真っ暗だったから何も見えなかったけど、今はちゃんとみえるよ。
小川、岩がごつごつしたバイクの道、沢山の木、そして鳥のさえずり。とても良い場所だった。
散歩を終えて少しヨガと瞑想をした。朝はとても早かったけど、1日の始まりとしては良い時を迎えた。


We joined the Triple Adventure group.
The weather was bit funny, but great for adventure.


Coolum mountain (Climbing)
Noosa beach (Snorkel, swimming or relaxing at beach)
Wappa falls (Swimming or walk around)

トリプルアドベンチャーのグループと合流。
天気は変だったけど、冒険をするには良かったのかも。

＜今日のメニュー＞
クーラム山登山
ヌーサビーチでシュノーケルまたは海水浴
ワッパ滝でのスイミングまたは散歩
 

Nice green and rocky mountain.
素敵な緑と岩の山。

 
 













View from the top of mountain. (Part 1)
It was very windy, so I almost fly away...
頂上からの眺め(パート1）
風が強くて飛ばされそうだったよ。
 

View from the top of mountain. (Part 2)
'Can you see an airplane?'
We were higher than that. (Near the airport...)
And can you see little island?
It is on edge of this photo.
頂上からの眺め(パート2)
｢飛行機見えるかな?｣
飛行機よりも高い所にいるんだよ。(空港の近くなの…)
小さな島もあるよ。
写真の隅の方。

 
Moved to Noosa...
ヌーサへ移動。

Relaxing on Sunday arvo...
のんびりした日曜の午後のひと時…

Someone made those stone towers...
Looks nice, isn't it?
誰かが作った石のタワー…
なんか良い感じだと思わない?

I had swim at Noosa beach.
Some waves were big, but one of friend told me the tips.
Seventh wave is normally high and paddle quick as possible then ride on the wave.
I did it. I was top of the wave.
It was so much fun.
ヌーサビーチで泳いだよ。
波は時々高かったけど、友達がこつを教えてくれたんだ。
7番目の波はたいてい他の波に比べて高い。だから、一生懸命クロールしたら、波に乗れるよ。
試してみると波の上に乗る事が出来た。
とでも楽しかった。


Moved to Wappa falls.
ワッパ滝へ移動。

Everyone was swimming or jump off from the falls, but I decided not do...
Instead, I walked around and explore myself.
みんなは滝壺で泳いだり、滝の上から飛び込んだりしていたけど、私はしなかった…
その代わりに、滝の周りを探検する事に… 

Pretty flowers I found.
可愛いお花を発見。















I found a yellow broken car.
I reckon when the weather was really bad, this falls and river were plenty of water and this car was came down from somewhere and stuck in the tree and rocks...
黄色の壊れた車を見つけたよ。
多分、天気の悪い日に増水して、上流の方から流れてきて、木や岩に引っかかったんだと思う… 

One of my favourite photo of the day.
 I was top of the falls. If the water is more, it would be running down, but not much water, so it was just a pool of water.
Water surface was really calm like a mirror. I really like to see and look at it for a while...
今回のお気に入りの1枚。
滝の上に立って撮った写真。水がもっとある時は、下に流れ落ちているのだろうけど、水があまりなかったから、水が溜まっているだけだった。
水面はとても静かで、鏡のようだった。あまりにも綺麗だったから見入ってしまった。 


I had very great weekend.
It is good to have nice friends and people with. I really appreciated that opportunities I had and friendship I have.
Thank you so much...
とても良い週末になった。
良い友達や人に囲まれているのは最高。色々な経験が出来た事、そして良い人達との交流に感謝。
ありがとう…

Photography day.

It was lovely weather, so I decided to do photo shooting.

I just started to walk in the botanic garden...

Wondering around then found something again...
I could not see it, so I walked closer.

Something written...

Thank you for giving me a happy and calm day...

Happy weather.

-Rainbow-

It was rainy in the morning.
In the evening when I was making dinner, I saw the sky. I thought 'There is rainbow', because it was orange coloured sky. I went to see it and I found it.

'Yes, I thought so.'


Rainbow with airplane

When I was taking photos, airplane was coming.
Finally I could captured this photo. At that time, the rainbow was almost gone.
I was so happy to take this photo. I had smile on my face when I took this photo and I felt I will have good future soon...

I hope everyone have gorgeous time like this rainbow.

Sky...

Sunset



When I was looking a sky, I noticed beautiful cloud.
I felt I should take a photo. It looks like autumn sky...
In the day time still hot, but in the morning and night getting cooler.
Autumn is near here...

On the sky.

~Big Clouds~

On the sky I found bid bright clouds on the way to go back home.

Actually I didn't have camera at that time,so I hurry to go back home. There were still some cloud. I was lucky. Actually cumulonimbus(It's really big word...I checked dictionary.) or thunderclouds. It was developing...After a while it was heavy rain,thunder and lightning...

Sunset.

~Brilliant Sunset~

I took some photos which was sunset.
On the sky I could see beautiful clouds and moon. It was nice combination.
Horizontal one is I think it's mysterious. It was so bright red and orange. I felt sadness. I don't know why...maybe I too much thinking many things right now.
