みなさん、しばらくですね。お元気ですか？
先週、私が住んでいる市原市の有名な菜の花スポットを９年ぶりに見に行ってきました。
花が満開で、とてもきれいでした。この菜の花畑は地元のボランティアさん達が毎年、観光客や電車ファンのために植えているものです。去年は連作障害で花はあまり咲きませんでしたが、今年はまたきれいに咲いています。
今日、ご紹介する写真は、2011年に撮った写真です。
Hi everyone, how have you? Sorry for the long absence.
I have been working hard on a few projects which have taken up more time than I anticipated, but this week things are starting to get back to normal. It is spring here in Chiba now. Last week I went to photograph a cute little diesel train that runs through a field of rapeseed blossoms in the town where I live, Ichihara. The flowers have been planted annually by local retirees for over a decade, to make the countryside more appealing to tourists. Last year however, the rapeseed plants didn't flower and so a crowdfunding campaign was held to raise funds for new seeds, and this year the blossoms are back and looking better than ever! It is great news for the local community who suffered badly in last years typhoons.
Here is a photo which I took there in 2011.
