小鷺田の丘から眺める煙突の街

八幡西区小鷺田町にある実家からの風景。
煙突の煙のたなびき具合を見てお天気を予測したり、夏には若松方面で打ち上がる花火を眺めたり、視線をぐっと右に移動させると、小さく若戸大橋も見えました。

小高い場所に建つ団地の５階だったのですが、両親が高齢になり１階に引っ越してしまったため、もう今では見ることのない風景です。

多分、自分で白黒フィルムを現像したものらしく、傷だらけの写真で失礼します！

A view from my parent's house in Kosagida-machi, Yahatanishi district.
I used to watch the trail of smoke from the chimney and forecast the weather. In summer, I can enjoy a display of fireworks in somewhere in Wakamatsu area. I could even see the Wakato Bridge in far right-hand side.

My parent's house (where I grew up) was on the 5th floor of an apartment on a small hill. A few years ago they moved to the lower floor because they got old (the apartment does not have an elevator), so I no longer see the same view now.

Sorry for the scratches on the picture! I suppose I developed the film by myself and that was the first time for me.
