Truth In the mirror...
Only you know the truth of your heart deep inside.
That's because you are the only one
to see yourself in the mirror on the straight.
心の奥の真実はあなただけが知っている。
なぜなら、鏡に映るあなたの姿を真っ直ぐに見ることができるのは、
紛れもなくあなただけだから・・・
I suddenly got an idea one day, and went to Minoh National Park, Osaka. Of course, to take photos of "Momiji" (Maple leaves). It's been probably 5, or 6 years since my last visit. If my recall is correct, that must've been when I escorted a group from Tokyo as a tour leader, and travel around in Kansai-Osaka region. It was a very memorable assignment with a great coach driver and a guide. Whatever we did, all went well, and everything was fun. And plus, Maple leaves then was just amazingly beautiful. The gradations of Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green colors was covering the Minoh Mountain range.
I was expecting the same this time somehow, but I knew that it wouldn't be the same as before because this Autumn's climate didn't have much temperature difference between day and night. Plus a huge damage from Typhoon #21 this summer. Many broken trees were still there. However I found amazingly beautiful color changes among some Maple trees, and took photos.
Several new shops seem to have been opened after several years. One of them caught my eyes through the window which was very fascinating in interior inside. Book Shelves, Wooden framed windows, and Red maple leaves slightly projected on the window. One beautiful piece.
Only we ourselves can see a truth in our own hearts. That's what I felt from this photo. Our true-self exists ahead in the mirror. Nobody else can see the truth from the same point that we are standing at, and the people's point of views about us are shifted and distorted somehow. Only we know what we really are...
We sincerely have to face to what we see in the mirror.

We shouldn't look away from it.
Because there is a truth there...

突然の思い付きで、しばらく前に箕面国定公園へ出かけた。紅葉を撮るためだ。おそらく5,6年ぶりだろうか?添乗員時代に、東京からのお客さんを連れて関西圏巡った以来のはずだ。とても、印象深い仕事だった。一緒に共にしたバスドライバー、ガイドが素晴らしく、何をするにもうまく行く楽しくて仕方がなかった。おまけにその時に見た紅葉は絶景に近く、赤、オレンジ、黄、ピンク、緑と箕面の山を紅葉のグラデーションが埋め尽くしていた。
そんは景色をかすかに期待はしていたが、今年は気象条件的にきれいな紅葉が出ないことは想像はついていた。急激な寒暖の差が生じない今年の秋だからだ。おまけに、今年の台風21号の被害がかなり酷かったようだ。倒木の跡があちらこちらで見受けられた。それでも、中には美しい色の紅葉の葉を抱いた気が目を引き付ける。そして、写真を撮った。
しばらく、来ていなければ新しい店もできていた。ちょっと、洒落た雰囲気の内装が目についたので、窓ガラス越しに自分の姿を捉えてみる。中の書棚、木の窓枠、そして仄かにガラスに映る赤色の紅葉の葉。綺麗な一枚だ。
人の心の本当の姿は当人しか見ることができない。そんなことをこの一枚の写真から感じ取った。真っ直ぐ見つめるその先に、鏡の中にいる本当の自分がいる。決して他人は同じ位置に立てない。だから、人の解釈は本来の自分から大小ずれるものだろうと思う。私だけが、本当の自分を知っている・・・。
だから、鏡の中に映る姿に真っ直ぐ向かい合わなければいけない。
目をそらしていけない。
そこに真実があるはずだから・・・。
