Total Solar Eclipse - 皆既日食
僕が19歳から旅を続けてたどりついた場所。
それは皆既日食のダイヤモンドリングで照らされる場所。
僕が探し求めていた場所はここだったんだと心の底から思った場所。
10年間、諦めずに旅を続けてきて見つけた場所。
「どこの国」とか「何かがある」とかそういう場所じゃない。
地球と月と太陽と自分が一直線に並ぶ奇跡的な場所。
その瞬間、そこは地球の果てと化す。
その瞬間、自分が宇宙の中に在ることが解る。
その瞬間、シャッターを切る快感が最高潮になる。

A place where I have traveled since I was 19 years old.
It is a place to be illuminated by the diamond ring of the total solar eclipse.
A place I thought from the bottom of my heart that the place I was looking for was here.
A place I have been traveling for 10 years without giving up and finding it.
It is not such a place as "what country" or "there is something".
A miraculous place where the earth, the moon, the sun and myself line up.
At that moment, it becomes the end of the earth.
At that moment, I can see that I am in the universe.
At that moment, the pleasant feeling of releasing the shutter will be at its peak.
