I enjoyed the splendid nature by myself.
December 21,1998
I visited some beaches yesterday. They are really all beautiful. We can't believe their beauty. But there aren't any people except one female at Takahama Beach. She seemed a little older than I. We talked a little about shells. She was picking. I spent my junior high school days at Miiraku where Takahama and Shiraragahama are located. Shiraragahama was very familiar for me, and I miss those days even now. At that time we could pick many crams easily. In fact we can pick up the basketful crams in short time. But nowadays crams seem rare and very small.
I can't see any person at Shiraragahama and Tontomari. It is unbelievable. But you know this is our island. We have beautiful places everywhere, so we don't have to visit such beaches on a fall/winter Sunday. Anyway I could enjoy beautiful scenes heartily yesterday. 12-21-1998The pictures and this essay can be seen at my Picture pages.
