I just discovered it is National Bird Day today! Here's a photo of an Oriental Greenfinch, taken along the Shukugawa river in Nishinomiya, Japan.

Bird on a tree branch. Head is gray/green with hints of yellow. The back is brown, and the chest/belly is a lighter shade of brown. The wings are black, white, and bright yellow. The face is black and the beak is short and thick, and a light pink color. There are some small seed shells stuck on the beak. The bird is in profile, facing to the left. There are a couple other blurry branches in the frame, and the background is blurry shades of green, white, gray and brown.

Night visit to Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto.
The temple stage glowing in the dark, and that single blue “Kiyomizu laser” cutting across the sky.

京都・清水寺
闇の中に浮かぶ舞台と、空を切り裂く「清水レーザー」。

"The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please."

Lost in Translation: A fascinating example of how language nuances can change the tone of a message.
The Japanese sign at Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa politely warns of danger ahead, while the English translation takes on a more ominous tone.

The image shows a sign with text in both Japanese and English. The sign is white with red and brown text. The Japanese text at the top reads "お願い この先は危険ですので、これ以上前へ行かないようお願い致します。" which translates to "Please, this area ahead is dangerous, so I kindly ask you not to go any further." Below this, in English, it seems to be an automatic translation to the message: "The future is dangerous. Don't go any further. Please." At the bottom of the sign, there is a logo and the text "ホテルバーモラル軽井沢" (Hotel Balmoral Karuizawa) in both Japanese and English. The sign is mounted on a wooden structure, possibly a fence or wall, with a metal hook at the top for hanging. The background is a wooden surface, likely part of a building or structure."
