杏 une abricot

During a lunch break, I take a walk to look for something to take a picture.
After taking flowers of hydrangea, I pick up a piece of apricot.
After taking a picture, I try to taste it.
It is a little sweet. It is too early to eat it.

杏と地蔵 abritcots et Jizos

Along the rim of the parking lot of a temple, stone images of Jizo stand.
Here and there fruits of apricot lie.
And a fool of fifty seven years old cann't stop tasting one of them.

東京駅地下風景 une scene souterraine

Under all of the platforms of Tokyo station this tunnel runs through.
People use this way for the platforms or the concourses to carry goods. The station employees help handicapped passengers to use the trains. The trainmen and workers on the train walk through here to ride on their train.

These brocks are very old ones.
The lampes can give me a sort of atmosphere of old days.

Workers push their goods cart with their full power along the slope and watch the mirror to confirm no walker or no cart would come along the blind tunnel.

There is only a crossarm in this crossing.
Ordinery people would never reach here.

This view will be changed soon because of the reconstruction. They would restore the station as it was before the U.S. air force's raide. It would cost 35,000 million yen. The East Japan Railway Company sold their air right to the owners around the station to get 50,000 million yens. The restored original station would be only three-stored building. So they had a plenty of air right to sell.
