キハ40系 / Anniversary of the movie "E.T.".
金曜日は電車で、土曜日は気動車です。
９月５日に高須駅下りホームから、下り５連キハ回送の撮影です。
写真を見るだけでウンザリしてしまうほど、この日も天気は好くありません。
それでも地元の中学を卒業し、今もここに暮らす私にとって、普段の景色を走る気動車です。
燃費は悪いですが、その汎用性は抜群なキハ40系。
日本国有鉄道が作った名車。
この２枚は９月19日に山手第２踏切で撮影した、上り５連キハ回送です。
西広島駅から自転車で５分程度の場所で、快速etSETOraを待っていたら現れました。
この日は天気も好くて、気持ちの良い写真を撮れました。
ラスト１枚は９月26日に岩国駅で撮影した留置車。
天気は好かったのですがもう日没時間での撮影。
このディーゼルカーがUNFCCCとSDGsの狭間で、いつまで走る姿が見られるのか判りませんが、そこに居て当たり前な今の内に、何気ない写真をたくさん撮っておこうと思っています。
Do you have unique friends?
Ingenious friends are interesting, aren't they?
I can get used to it once in a while.
in Japan! December 4th is E.T.s' day.
It was decided on December 4, 1982 to commemorate the release of Steven Spielberg's masterpiece "E.T." in Japan.
Although it is not an official anniversary, various events were held before the COVID-19 epidemic.
E.T. is an abbreviation for Extra-Terrestrial.
Prior to this movie, space visitors were mostly hostile stories.
However, in E.T., the story progresses centering on friendship and trust with extraterrestrial life forms.
Steven Spielberg's work depicts cross-cultural exchange with aliens even in " Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
It is a work that expands the possibilities of dreams for space.
Speaking of space topics, do you know about the black hole officially announced on November 30th?
There are two supermassive black holes in the galaxy NGC7727, 89 million light-years away from Earth in the direction of Aquarius.
89 million years light-years is the distance required for 89 million years at the speed of light, but it is a very neighborhood place in terms of astronomical distance.
The black holes in this pair are binary stars, with the larger black hole having a mass of 154 million times that of the Sun and the smaller black hole having a mass of 6.3 million times that of the Sun.
The distance between the two black holes is 16 million light-years, and each other's supergravity acts to merge them into one monster black hole within 250 million years.
The impact on the Earth after becoming a super black hole is still unknown, but it is doubtful whether life will exist on the Earth 250 million years later.
There is a high possibility that humankind has been extinct, and the existence of the planet Earth itself is unknown.
Therefore, it is more important to dream about the future of your own life and live today with a vision, rather than worrying about the far future.
Thank you for your time.
