Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁

...

She’s walking east to west, and I west to east. It’s a really nice April morning.

 

Wish I could talk to her. Half an hour would be plenty: just ask her about herself, tell her about myself, and - what I’d really like to do - explain to her the complexities of fate that have led to our passing each other on a side street in Harajuku on a beautiful April morning in 1981. This was something sure to be crammed full of warm secrets, like an antique clock build when peace filled the world.

 

After talking, we’d have lunch somewhere, maybe see a Woody Allen movie, stop by a hotel bar for cocktails. With any kind of luck, we might end up in bed.

 

Potentiality knocks on the door of my heart. .

Haruki Murakami's— "On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning" #💕☔#🌿☁

...

One beautiful April morning, in search of a cup of coffee to start the day, the boy was walking from west to east, while the girl, intending to send a special-delivery letter, was walking from east to west, but along the same narrow street in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo. They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest. And they knew:

 

She is the 100% perfect girl for me.

 

He is the 100% perfect boy for me.

 

But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the clarity of fouteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever.

 

A sad story, don’t you think?

 

Yes, that’s it, that is what I should have said to her. .

Sun rays piercing through a tuft of clouds, shot during an evening bike ride.

this one surprized me showing a extra layer that I thought wasnt going to show through.

 

For those following my Crystal & chasing light photos : There is mini-blind pic shot with a faceted crystal in front of my camera, and ...another like except looking out at the dog-eared fence. The colored light is from part of one then mutiplyed. Other effect was flexify which quartered it. The next in my stream is without flex.

 

My favorite shot from my family's trip downtown to the waterfront on new year's day.

Time after time

Alone in the city of whirling blossoms

Those petals fly in the whirling wind

The miracle of meeting you

In a city where the wind whispered through

The hanamidou tells of the end of spring

One petal from this misty flower.

After sunset, a handheld shot. Wider view than the previous one.

This is a stunning silhouette photograph of a person walking during sunset. The sun is positioned low in the sky, casting a deep orange glow across the entire scene. The subject appears to be walking towards or past the sun, creating a dramatic and artistic composition. The dark foreground contrasts sharply with the fiery backdrop, emphasizing the silhouette effect. The blurred background, along with the warm colors, adds a dreamlike and cinematic quality to the image.
