This photo was taken on Kawaramachi Street in Tamba Sasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture.
Colorful and cute bells.
It was a moment when I was able to make a new discovery that bells might look better than wind chimes in the cityscape of Castle Town.

When I was passing by on the Car, I saw a sparkling bell, so I parked my Car at the Car parking lot and went back to take pictures.
I was also able to find a nice café on that street. It was a cold day, so if it weren't for the bell, I might not have gotten out of the car and walked down this street.
When I think about it, I'm very grateful ☺️ to Suzu for giving me that encounter

This is a photo of a cat's interior goods at a café in Sanrazaka-cho, Miyoshi City, Hiroshima Prefecture.
Use the lights in the store,
I expressed "a cat in the twilight of the sunset".

According to the owner, it is a work made by an iron craftsman in Miyoshi City.
"I like the view from behind, but I can't take a good picture," the owner said.
Squid was able to take this photo ☺️ when I was trying to figure out how to capture it well

The thinness of the limbs and neck, as well as the symmetrical ears, convey that the iron craftsmen are carefully and thoughtfully made.
The skills of Japan craftsmen. I thought it was cool! ✨

It is also a wonderful memory ☺️ that I was able to share my impression with the owner in this photo

Metaseikochia trees in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture

We aimed for a day when it snowed.

It started snowing at dawn, and the Water of the Water on the road began to increase, and I was able to take a reflection shot.

This is a landscape photo taken when I visited Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture.
I thought the beauty of Lake Biwa peeking through the trees on a sunny day was the coolest, so I posted it for people who like landscape photography to see.
Best regards.
I'm not familiar with hashtags, so I'll add them as soon as I 😂 can

For me, journeys hold far greater significance than simply reaching a destination. Each adventure teaches me lessons that resonate deeply within me. Under the vast blue sky, nestled before majestic mountains and surrounded by vibrant fields of flowers, I discovered a vision of Earth that embodies true beauty. I wish the world could grasp this idea, transforming battlefields into meadows of blossoms, where weapons are replaced by cameras—capturing the stunning splendor of our planet instead of promoting conflict.
