Whenever I'm on business trip in Japan, I bring Ricoh GR1V in pocket. In the morning time, before breakfast, normally 5 :30 to 6:30a.m., near hotel, I enjoy morning shots. I got this scene near Nagoya station. The sitation of cirrocumulous was endless sky arcade, looking like even over horison.

Normally I find out cirrocumulous during sun set time. It is the 1st time for me to see dynamic one in early morning time.

In this month, I bought Leica M3 made in 1966. I was also born in 1966. So he is same age with me.

On the other hand, the lens, NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical VMII, is brand new product by COSINA Japan. Camera body is classic, although the lens is made with current cutting edge technology.
I believe this is one of ways to enjoy Leica world.
