  In the clear early morning of autumn, sunlight illuminates the scenery from the side.

The western ridgeline of the chimney (cross-section triangle ▲) at Harumi Incineration Plant is shaded by the sun.

It was shining brightly as shown in the picture.

Compare the sides of the surrounding buildings.　It's strange.　Why is it?

 I looked around and looked for him.

Considering the direction of the sun, a super high-rise apartment is located about 350 meters north-northwest of the chimney.

The light reflected on the southeast glass wall hit the ridgeline behind the chimney.

It's considered to be something.　It takes a limited number of minutes to take this picture because the sun moves.

It is a skit of continuous reflection of light 150 to 200 meters above the ground.

 

 

In the same way, the glass windows of buildings that stand in various angles from the southwest to the northwest of Chuo-ku and Minato-ku.

This is also wonderful because the morning sunlight is reflected from here and there one after another.

For example, the MORI Tower at Green Hills in Atago, about 2600 meters west-northwest strongly reflects the morning sun.

I did it.　It is a dazzling, shining building in the center on the other side of the Hamarikyu Garden in the photo below. The light is in the garden

It was reflected on the sea surface in the foreground.

　　　　　　　　　　

 

This time, we could see a straight line reflected light on the opposite bank in the southwest direction.　Park Shibaura Building.

If the wall of the building is flat, the entire surface will glow, but it shines straight like this wall is like a tea tube.

It's because it's a cylindrical plane.

That's good, the strange thing is that the light reflected on the sea surface is not a straight line.

Of course, the sea surface is a horizontal plane.　Even if there are small waves, the reflected light will be blurred.

And please take a look.　The shape reflected on the sea surface is "reverse hatena mark".

But what is not always this mark ...? ・What's it?

　　　　　 　　　　　　　　(It is considered to be a subtle, slight mad of glass windows, and mischief such as ripples.)

 

  The southwestern quay of Harumi Wharf is for government ships.　

In the daytime, the sun from the south illuminates the other side of the ship, and this side is shaded.　

However, as early as in the morning, sunlight illuminates this side of the ship, so it looks beautiful.

By the way, on the left is the Fisheries Agency's fishery research vessel "Teryo Maru" (2,214 tons, 87,6 m, completed in May 1998).

On the right is the large training boat "Seiun Maru" (5,890 tons, 116m, completed in September 1997) at the Voyage Training Center.

If you look at it, you have a dream!　　 In the foreground is the fire boat of the seaside fire department.

　　　　　　　 　　

This is the building of the total glass of the passenger ship terminal at Harumi Wharf.　I'm shining in the morning sun.

We welcome those who go on a boat trip or from overseas who have visited Tokyo.

Various Ceremonies and meetings will also be held.

When you pass through the Rainbow Bridge, you can see this and feel, "Oh, I'm back to Tokyo."

　　　　　

 

 

 

 

　　　　

 

 

   The Kachidoki View Tower stands at the intersection of Harumi-dori St. and Kiyosumi-dori.

Tsukishima Daini Children's Park was opened on the south side.

A new peace monument has been set up in the Peace Plaza facing the sidewalk of Kiyosumi Street.

 

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kachidoki View Tower　　　　　　　　　　

 

Based on the purpose of the Heiwa, Chuo-ku City Declaration (March 15, 1988), a new peace monument was set up at the "Peace Plaza" in Tsukishima Daini Park to deepen understanding of peace. 

This is a mosaic plate in which children from 16 Chuo Ward elementary schools (all) draw original drawings and go to the welfare center cooperated in the production.

Each is a masterpiece of peace.

I took photos one by one, but I would like to see the chance and upload it.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　This newly opened children's park had some shiny playground equipment.

Because it was a holiday, most of them were accompanied by "Ikumen" dad.

My husband, who was looking at the candidate's page for the election of a ward council member the other day, said, "What is Ikumen? ？ ？ ・・・・」

When I asked me ... I was stunned and answered, "It's a word that you don't have to know ...."

And the times changed, and I learned the sadness of becoming a fossil human.　　 

　　　　　

　　　　

 It's my favorite playground equipment.

"If you climb a small mountain with colored balls embedded in a ladder, what's there over? ・・・・」

  If I were in childhood, I would have thought about this.   

The children of Chuo-ku who have such a playground are happy.    

 

　　　　　　　　　　　　

 

 

   Murata Glassespo came to Edo in 1615 in the year of Osaka Summer Camp (1615).

Before coming to Edo, he was a mirror master who worked for the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

Even after coming to Edo, I was able to use it as a mirror for the shoguns, but after paying the mirror when the princess of the Imperial Palace, I finally closed the mirror and worked on glasses in earnest.

It was from the Meiji era that glasses were made in earnest in Japan, and the eleventh generation Chobei learned eyeglasses techniques.　　In 1872, we opened an eyeglass specialty store in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

 　　　　　　　

 Ito Hirobumi Soseki Natsume Toson Shimazaki was also a guest.

You are also in favor of the Imperial Family.

Even now, when the number of shops where you can rely on tailor-made glasses has decreased, Murata Glass Store has craftsmen and responds to your needs in addition to ready-made products.

 The photo above shows glasses from the Edo period.　He made a small hole next to it and hung it on his ears through a string.

　　　　Western glasses and magnifying glass of the 1800s.　　　　　　

 It's a Western iron glasses from the 1800s.

　　　 It's a luxurious binocular.

　　　　　

It's a luxurious beads eyeglass case.

I think that the glasses look good and fit your body refreshingly.

It may be a little luxurious, but it would be fun if you could order eyeglasses that fit your body, order your own eyeglass case, and use them for a long time ...

In the show window, ancient documents that seem to convey the advertising of glasses are also displayed.
