横須賀の走水方面へ行ってきました。

走水神社へお詣りし、御朱印を授かって、短い時間でしたが楽しめました。

過ごしていた��前中から昼下がりは、晴れてくれたので、久しぶりにネオ1のFinePix SL1000を持っていって良かった。

やや眠そうなトビはトリミングしました。

薄らいでいる海の向こうの街はММ地区で、1200mmで撮りました。

A Coastal Canvas: Feeling the Passage of Time at Soleil Hill Beach・「ソレイユの丘砂浜で時を感じる」

My visit to Nagai Seaside Park Soleil Hill (長井海の手公園ソレイユの丘) in Yokosuka, Japan, with my border collie was originally planned around photographing fields of flowers and scenic coastal views.

However, the intense summer heat had taken its toll, wilting nearly all the flowers in bloom. I set aside the idea of photographing the park’s interior and opted for Soleil Hill Beach—a secluded, dark-sand beach accessible only to park visitors.

One rock formation in particular caught my eye, part of the rugged coastline that defines much of the Miura Peninsula, south of Yokohama and Tokyo.

The layers in these formations angle at an estimated 30 degrees, a reminder of the earthquakes and tectonic tilting that shaped this landscape. Over time, the natural striations in the rock have been softened by weather and waves, revealing a fascinating story of geological transformation.

Occasionally, when the sun peeked through the clouds, the water revealed dark hues of green and blue, adding depth and contrast to the scene against the otherwise muted, overcast sky.

It’s this interplay of colors and textures—the layers of rock, the subdued tones of the sea, and the hints of ancient history—that made this spot feel somewhat special.

#OTD 1942, Nobuo Fujita became the only enemy pilot to bomb the contiguous U.S. when he dropped incendiaries near Brookings, Oregon after being launched from sub I-25 in a Yokosuka "Glen". After the war, he presented Brookings with his 400-year-old katana to express his regret.
