This image was taken on a summer day - full of the heat of northeastern Brazil - and for me it resembles a small sun in its first rays at dawn.
Every year, the arrival of summer brings me a feeling that takes me back to the old days, still in my teens, when this season corresponded to school holidays.
How pleasant was the sweet youthful anticipation of imagining living warm, sunny days away from trials and worries, bringing an enormous feeling of well-being, such as those contained in these verses by the duo Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse, which can be appreciated in the vigorous performance of Michael Bublé (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edwsf-8F3sI):
" Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel ...
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel ...
Dragonfly out in the sun,
you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun,
you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me ...
you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun,
you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me ...
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life ...
And I'm feeling good."
It's a new day
It's a new life ...
And I'm feeling good."

Eté coloré
Lumière éclatante
Moi l’ange déchu
Avec mes ailes
Sous ton soleil flamboyant
Je me pose nu
Regard errant
Corps en acier brûlant mais
Visage rayonnant

Red poppies:
No fire burns like red poppies when sunrays flood it,
it is heaven's most beautiful reward and shows the power of good.
As delicate and fine as it may seem, it defies even strong winds,
rises from the earth crumb to find its happiness here.

Roter Mohn:
Kein Feuer brennt wie roter Mohn, wenn Sonnenstrahlen ihn durchfluten,
Kein Feuer brennt wie roter Mohn, wenn Sonnenstrahlen ihn durchfluten,
es ist des Himmels schönster Lohn und zeigt die Kraft des Guten.
So zart und fein er scheinen mag, er trotzt selbst starken Winden,
steigt aus der Erde Krume auf, um hier sein Glück zu finden.

Summer
Days Are Long And
The Sun Is Bright
The Sky Is Blue With
Blazing Sunlight
It Sweats A Lot
And Sometimes Exhausts
But Then Enters A Cool Breeze
And Freshness Restocks
Summer Teaches Us...
There Is Always A Hope
But Only We Get It
After A Hard Cope

Between Kyoto and Osaka, remain a few paddy fields in residential areas. I started shooting them with my analog cameras in Black and White from planting to harvesting (June to October 2022). Unfortunately, they will surely disappear so this video and photos are an attempt at immortalising what is left of the rice fields in the city.

Rose
Summer sunshine, be smiling and shinning,
Beautiful and vibrant.
Summer breeze, be adorning in petals,
Bright and vivid.
Sweet fragrance, be swaying in the summer,
Shining life, trembling in praise from the birds.

Surreal hot red cherry
A short story in which I tried to convey the atmosphere of summer in a fabulous interpretation. In the center of events are simple still lifes with cherries, around which various phenomena occur: raindrops, conveying the mood of summer coolness, are replaced by bright yellow sunlight, turning into fire, symbolizing the warmth and comfort of a home. Then the cherry is moved into porcelain cups, from which light pours out, poured from a teapot that flew in on a cloud. Falling flower petals, as if flying off those painted on the cups, attract a dragonfly perched on a flying cloud...

The poem/song « The Summer Knows »
The summer smiles, the summer knows
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
The summer smooths the restless sky
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
The summer knows, the summer's wise
She sees the doubts within your eyes
And so she takes her summer time
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
Lets you see the wonder of her arm?
And if you've learned your lesson well
There's little more for her to tell
One last caress, it's time to dress for fall
Songwriters: Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Jean Legrand

Le poème/chanson « The Summer Knows »
L'été sourit, l'été sait
Et sans honte, elle se débarrasse de ses vêtements
L'été adoucit le ciel agité
Et avec amour elle réchauffe le sable sur lequel tu es allongé
L'été sait, l'été est sage
Elle voit les doutes dans tes yeux
Et donc elle prend son heure d'été
Dit à la lune d'attendre et au soleil de s'attarder
Tourne le monde autour de son doigt d'été
Vous permet de voir la merveille de son bras ?
Et si tu as bien appris ta leçon
Il n'y a pas grand-chose de plus à dire pour elle
Une dernière caresse, il est temps de s'habiller pour l'automne
Auteurs-compositeurs : Alan Bergman / Marilyn Bergman / Michel Jean Legrand
