小説（掌編） 【 夏のはじまりは、すりガラスのこうに 】
あらすじ
遠藤 シュン 22才と、同級生、関口香奈のお話。
シュンは商社へ就職し、7月からオーストラリアへ。海外赴任前に実家へ帰る。
掌編 【 夏のはじまりは、すりガラスの向こうに 】
7月の夕暮れは、すりガラスの向こうのように霞んでしまう。真夏に向かっていろんなものが鮮やかに色を放つというのに、夕暮れによって光を失うと精彩は失われ、描いた絵にうっかり落とした水滴のようにじゃみてしまう。
閉館間際の図書館の窓の外に目を落とした遠藤シュンは、しばらくの間、ぼんやり夕暮れを眺めていた。
シュンは、７月から日本を離れ、オーストラリアの東部へ向かう。就職した商社が、これからの水素社会のために、日本へ輸入を計画しているからだ。シュンは、既に動き出している現地スタッフに混じり、新しいメンバーとして参加する。採用された中でシュンが特に優秀だったわけではなく、面接の際、「いきなり出向となったら君はどうする？」と訊かれ、つい調子に乗って「がんばります」と快活に答えたからのようだった。
そして７月から新天地へ向かう。明日、成田空港で１３時に待ち合わせている。上司の大山は、「向こうへ到着してからも隔離だから、まぁちょっと大変だけど」と大きなお腹を揺らして笑っていた。そんな語尾に釣られて、へつらった笑顔で返す自分が嫌になる。大人になると失うことも得ることも同時に起こるのかもしれない。
静まり返った本棚の連続に、目を移して、シュンは昔聞いたポップソングを思い出していた。
— たくさん失う ー 色も褪せてゆくー
就職し、仕事を得られた安堵と同時に、何かを失ってしまった。自分の手で切り開こうとする、曖昧だけど確実な未来への一歩と、幼い頃、真夏の木陰で食べたアイスクリームの淡い記憶をためらいなく引き換えてしまったような喪失感......
シュンは立ち上がって、手にしていた本を棚へ戻した。本は、関口香奈が好きだったものだ。当時はハードカバーだったが、今はもう小ぶりな文庫本に置き換えられている。人気のある本なので、表紙の隅々がかなり痛んでいた。
すっかり静まり返った図書館の気配を背に外へ出た。外気にはまだ強い湿気が残っていた。鬱陶しい夏の始まりだというのに、シュンの胸の内は静かだった。
図書館を出て左へ曲がり、T字路へ差し掛かったところで、シュンは立ち止まった。まっすぐ歩けば、たぶん僕が好きなカレーを作って母が自宅で待っている。でも、右手の横断歩道を渡って、直進したら、香奈の自宅だ。
ー 香奈 ー
立ち止まって、シュンは俯き、胸の内で香奈の名を反芻した。
小学校のとき、中学校のとき、高校生のとき、いつでも当たり前のようにそばにいた香奈を僕はやっぱり大切にしなかったんだ。でもー
でも、本当に大切なことを言葉にしたら、失ってしまうことだってあるじゃないかー 言葉にした途端、すべて色褪せて消えてしまう、そんな想いだってあるじゃないかー
言葉にする勇気ー 僕にはやっぱりなくて、でもきっと香奈はそれを持っていた。運動会の準備でも、高校受験の試験勉強でも、戸惑っている僕の背中を押してくれたのは香奈だった。
クラクションの高い音でシュンは我に返った。シュンが鳴らされたわけではなく、誰かが赤信号を無視して渡ったようだった。別々の大学に進んだ４年間の重みが、シュンの足を止めていた。
払って、シュンは、まっすぐ歩き出した。
玄関を開けた家の奥には、案の定、カレーの匂いが立ち込めていた。
「たくさん作ったからいっぱい食べてねー」
妙に明るい母の声には意味がある。深い意味ではない。シュンがそこそこ有名な商社へ入り込み、かつ、明日からはオーストラリアへ旅立つからだ。シュンの田舎で、商社と言ったらもはやドリカムなのだ。有名無名など無関係。明日から、うちの子は日本を離れるんですよーというだけで、雲の上の存在なのだ。シュンが昨日、ちょっと近所を出歩いただけで、三人のおばさんに話しかけられ、三人共にシュン君はいいねーなどと褒められ、母の存在感を味わう。カレーを食べて、お風呂に入って、早く寝て、さっさとこの場所を離れようー
シュンは硬く目を閉じて寝返りを打ったが、朝まで眠れることはなかった。
「第三ターミナルって異常に遠いよね。遠い場所に作って不便を促す発想は、うちの会社にはないなー、遠藤くん」
額の汗をマスクで拭った大山は、重そうに膨らんでいるジャケットのお腹をやっと前に進ませている。シュンは、適当な笑みで返しながらネクタイを緩めた。寝不足と大山の言葉どおりに使い果たした体力で、気持ちが深く沈んでいた。
「うちが現地で契約しているスタッフが、遠藤くんといっしょに現地入りする。しばらくはスタッフの指示に従って、感染しないように」
ふいに笑顔になった大山は、シュンの背後に向かって声を掛け、手招きした。
振り返ったシュンは、しばらく声を失っていた。大山がシュンの紹介をし、現地スタッフである香奈に関して、簡潔に説明した。ショートヘアの香奈はダフネブルーのTシャツに細身のジーンズ、そして履き込んだスペルガの白いスニーカーといったラフな格好だった。
大山はシュンらを付き合わせると、これから本社の青山まで戻らなければならないからと言って歩き出し、シュンに着いたらメールするように、と笑顔を残して去った。去り際に香奈へ、いろいろご迷惑をお掛けするかもしれませんがよろしくお願いいたしますと、難しい顔で伝えた。香奈は、大山の難しい表情を解きほぐすような丁重な声と笑顔で、「どうにかなりますからー」と答えた。
出発ラウンジへ歩き出しながら、シュンは言った。
「どうしてここに？」
香奈は、立ち止まってやや怒り気味に言った。
「どうしてって、ただの偶然でしょ？」
香奈の言うとおりだった。ただの偶然だ。香奈がここまで仕込んで筋書きを立てられるとも思えないし、そんな意味などないのだからー
手続き済ませてゆっくりしようよと、香奈は再び歩き出しながら言い放った。
シュンも賛成だった。歩きながら話したいけど、歩きながら話せるような軽さは微塵もない。シュンらは、人気の少ないターミナルの中を進んでいった。
手荷物を預け、出国を済ませると、シュンらはラウンジに腰掛け、カップのコーヒーの蓋を開けた。カップはかなり火照っていた。ラウンジの高い天井の隅には、赤い風船が、エアコンのゆるい風に吹かれて揺れていた。子供が手放したんだろうけど、それはいつだったんだろう、シュンはそんな余計なことを考えている自分にイラついた。
香奈は、コーヒーにフーフー息を吹きかけながら、一口啜ると言った。
「きのう、図書館の近くのT字路で立ち止まってたでしょ。わたし、見てたんだよ」
シュンの胸はどきりと跳ねたが、気づかれぬようさらっといった。
「なんで、見てたの？」
「ひさびさに日本に帰ってきて、家の窓から夕暮れ見てたの。そしたら、見慣れた人影が。シュンかなって思ったけど、まさかいるわけないよねって。でもシュンだった。見てたっていうよりも、目に入ってきたって感じかな」
シュンは長椅子に腰を深く落とし直した。アルミ製の椅子は、エアコンですっかり冷えている。シュンは、香奈の横顔にいった。
「髪、短くしたんだ」
香奈は、目を丸くしていった。
「興味があるんだ」
シュンは、やや攻撃的な口調の香奈を悟すように言い返した。
「なんで怒ってるの？」
「怒ってなんかないよ」
「いやいや怒ってるじゃん。怒りが滲んでこぼれてるぞ」
「そういうときもあるのよ」
香奈はシュンの問いを適当にあしらって、飛行場内に目を移した。シュンらが乗り込む飛行機は、強い陽射しを浴びて、今、目の前に静かに止まっている。
香奈はシュンに目を戻していった。
「なんで立ち止まっていたの？ 結構、長かったよ、止まってたの」
「いや、足元に蟻が….. 」
「蟻？」
香奈は目を剥いて訊ねた。
「いや、アイスクリームが落ちていて、蟻が群がっていて、こんなにいっぱい持って帰るのかなーって」
香奈は口を硬く結び直してから、窓の外を眺め、コーヒーを飲んだ。コーヒーの熱とは別に冷めた視線だった。
シュンは、気づかれぬよう香奈の薬指を見た。指輪はなかった。が、彼はいるかもしれない。付き合ってるジャスティンビーバーばりの白人男性が香奈の部屋で、パスタを茹でて待ってるかもしれない。次々襲ってくる妄想にシュンは、香奈に気づかれぬよう、うめいていた。
「で、シュンはいつ帰るの？」
「え？」
「いつ帰るの？ 次は。日本に」
「あれ？ そういえば聞いてないな。俺、いつ帰ってくるんだろ」
「シュン、大丈夫？」
香奈は、自分ごとのように肩を落とした。それからいった。
「っていうことは、たぶん、無期限の可能性が高いね。一年二年じゃ帰れないよ、きっと」
シュンは、コーヒーを啜りながら、胸の内で、俺は日本に帰れないんだ、と呟いた。
口元に軽い笑みを浮かべた香奈は、ぼんやりしてうなだれているシュンにいった。
「見せて、シュン。４年間何をしていたのか。私に」
「たいしたことやってないよ、俺は。行き当たりばったりで」
香奈は、しばらく黙って俯いた。そしていった。
「私に、彼がいるかどうか、聞かないの？」
シュンは、窓の外に目を移した。さっきまで夏の陽光で明るかった風景が、霞んで見えた。すりガラスの向こうに見える七月の夕暮れのようだった。風景は遠くなり、音もなく滲んで、消え去ってゆくー
ふいに視界が暗くなった。音も消えて、暗闇に落ちたようだった。鼻先で香奈の髪が踊っている。シュンの唇にはやわらかい温もりがあった。
離れて、香奈は、外の景色を再び眺めた。静かな横顔だった。
「蟻なんて言わないで。もうそんなこと言わないで。シュン、ラインだって繋がっていたのに４年間ずっとそのままだったよ。わたし、シュンを忘れたことなんて一度もなかったよ。それはこれからもだよ。ずっと、ずっとだよ」
大きな雲が去ったのか、窓の外からシュンの足元に光が差し込んできた。
シュンは、窓の外を眺めた。
眩い夏の光がそこには溢れ、輝いていた。
了

Much of the settlement and commerce of early Newfoundland was built from trade in cod fish. Indeed John Cabot in the 1600s said the cod were so thick you could walk across the water on their backs (only a bit of an exaggeration). The Ryan Premises was established in 1879 to buy salt cod from the inshore fishermen; salting was an early way to preserve fish (and meat) before the advent of refrigeration. Salt cod from Bonavista was a major part of international diets with fleets of schooners carrying fish to markets around the world. With the rise of factory ships to freeze cod, and the collapse of the cod fishery, Ryan Premises finally closed down in 1978. The Portuguese fishing fleet was a major player in fishing and salting cod and I have some old photos that I took of their schooners in St. John harbour. I've eaten salt cod (bacalao) in Portugal; not my personal favourite.

Wat Phra Si Sanphet was the holiest temple on the site of the old Royal Palace in Thailand's ancient capital of Ayutthaya until the city was completely destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. It was the grandest and most beautiful temple in the capital and it served as a model for Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. Wikipedia
It is within the premises of a famous Buddhist temple Hokoji in Nanbu town Aomori Japan. Even though it was Sunday, few people took a walk, so I was able to enjoy the autumn leaves carefully. It is a panoramic picture created by joining seven photos vertically.

Café Två Skator's premises have ancient origins and logs and wood can be from the 18th century. But what is most certain is that the main building was the entrance to the Arboga Margarine Factory from 1887 when the caretaker lived here.
The restaurant serves both hot food and pastries that vary according to seasonal ingredients.

Colorful houses in Iceland
Urbanization also began to appear for the first time around the 18th century, when Danish merchants set up permanent trading posts for themselves. The timber for constructing these residential and commercial premises was mostly prefabricated and imported. These timber-framed buildings had high pitched roofs and low walls, and they were tarred on the outside making them dark in appearance.
With the movement towards independence from Denmark and the implementation of Icelandic free trade, more diverse architectural styles and influences were brought to the island. Classical influences can be seen in timber buildings from the 19th century, these buildings were often two-storey and had higher walls. Details such as the layout of fenestration on the building drew from classical traditions. A few buildings in this style remain today.
As the 20th century dawned, Swiss chalet style architecture was brought indirectly to Iceland under Norwegian influence. Settling in the Eastern Region and Westfjords, they brought with them prefabricated houses which they then erected there. The buildings tended to be taller and with large windows, unlike anything of the styles that had prevailed in Iceland beforehand. Notable features of these buildings were the friezes above doors and windows, and eaves which projected out above the walls. Here the distinctive Icelandic use of corrugated iron (imported from England), in place of external cladding, was born. The Swiss chalet style was the dominant force in Icelandic architecture in the early 20th century.
The use of timber was banned in urban areas after great fires in Reykjavík and Akureyri around this time.
20th century and continuing urbanisation
Independence movements in Iceland gained a lot of support during the early part of the 20th century, when the country was awarded home rule from Denmark. Urbanisation began in earnest as the population moved out en masse from rural areas with new technological developments. These social changes had a profound effect upon the architecture of the period.
Concrete was first used on a major scale as a building material in this period and became extremely popular as an easy and economical construction material. The material has shaped Icelandic architecture from this period. With the arrival of concrete came the first qualified Icelandic architect, Rögnvaldur Ólafsson, who had at first designed in the Swiss chalet style but soon moved on to working in concrete. His first works in concrete resembled closely the stone buildings of earlier times.
Characteristically urban buildings began emerging during this time, such as Austurstræti 16 (designed by Guðjón Samúelsson) which were concrete constructions. Guðjón went on to become the leading Icelandic architect of the time. Referencing traditional Icelandic architectural styles, he revived the gable-fronted house design in concrete. This influence can be seen in stylised form in the National Theatre of Iceland building, for example. Guðjón Samúelsson was also the designer of Hallgrímskirkja, one of the tallest structures in Iceland, which was modelled on cliff faces.
The functionalist architectural style arrived in Iceland in the 1930s, brought by younger architects who would later have great influence on the urban planning of the country. Unusually, functionalism was not met with as much controversy as it was in other countries at the time. Early functionalist buildings in the country resembled those elsewhere in Europe, but conventional interior layouts being their differentiating feature. Many neighbourhoods would later be built up using the functionalist aesthetic as their guide. The buildings were made distinctively Icelandic with the use of local minerals and seashells as dashing. Whole residential districts were dashed in this way. After World War II, larger houses with higher roofs began to appear, with a variety of decorative features marking a departure from the functionalist aesthetic.
The next wave of architectural style to arrive was modernism, appearing after the country’s gain of independence from Denmark. Influential architects created modernist buildings with low roofs and large windows and large, smooth expanses of colour (in contrast to the dashing style which was popular earlier). Modernist architecture commanded a modernist interior to boot, and so here began a strong furniture industry. New building techniques led to the construction of concrete high-rises in Reykjavík. Here new movements began to show up, such as an increase in popularity of open plan interiors.
In addition to new styles and influences arriving, a sentiment for the conservation of existing older buildings was founded, with newfound interest in traditional handicrafts. Criticism of modern Icelandic architecture appeared at this time, pointing out energy-wasting designs and drawing from traditional building techniques such as steep pitched roofs to find solutions.

My neighbour Ken founded Ashleigh Signs, now an International signage company. Look at The Savoy and Hilton Hotels in London and thats an example of their work.www.ashleighsigns.co.uk/gallery/ Ken took me down to look around the premises and I got a few shots.
Ryan and everybody else were genuinely friendly. As you can see, Ryan moved his head at the wrong time but I like the effect :o)

Do not disturb... Cheetah sleeping!...
The world's fastest land animal, the cheetah, can reach speeds of 70 mph. The most specialized member of the cat family, the cheetah also is the most endangered cat in Africa.
Namibia is home to the world’s largest wild/free-ranging cheetah population; the majority of this country’s cheetahs and leopards can be found on approximately 7000 commercial farms. These large carnivores occasionally prey upon the livestock that roam unprotected in the bush. As a result, carnivores are often regarded as vermin by the livestock and game-farming community and are deliberately trapped and/or killed.
The AfriCat Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of African big cats, especially cheetahs and leopards, offers farmers the opportunity to pick up animals they caught alive. These animals are then be fed and cared for on the premises of AfriCat. If the cats get heavily injured by traps they also get medically treatment. After the treatment and care the animals will be released in a safe area or if the damage to an animal is permanent and it no longer can hunt, it will remain on the several square kilometer large, based in Otjiwarongo, Namibia.
A roseate spoonbill leaves the premises. This species is colored pink because they eat shrimp and algae containing the pigment canthaxanthin, a keto-carotenoid widely distributed in nature. Physiologically, it is a potent lipid-soluble anti-oxidant. This is very interesting to me as I was trained as a natural products chemist way back when.
