Blue Moon in the morning sky
2012.09.01, hopping on the bullet train, I went to Ishinomaki. 10 months had been passed since I went there last time in winter 2011. It was about to enter 18 months away from the day tsunami swallowed the small coastal town. I woke up in the morning, and looked outside still dark at dawn. A large perfectly round moon was floating right above the mountains in the far distance. Blue Moon from the last night was still lingering in the sky. I took a different route to go to Ishinomaki than the last time via Matsushima Kaigan taking an acting bus which was serving through the coastal area of a part of interrupted Sendai Line by tsunami in March 2011. Ishinomaki in the late summer was glittering in golden color.
