a concrete description of a lanscape ( my case)

このような現場に立ったとき、どのように風景を描くか、示しましょう。
ここは松山市内の「平和通」に面した場所です。写真の右肩先に高さ１３０米くらいの山があり、その頂上に城があります。すなわちここは、松山城の北側です。

I am now facing a street. This is Heiwa-dori Street. Here I can see vehicles going down the street and coming up the street. And I can see a lot of gingko trees planted at the median strip,
which are lined up along this street, east and west, a long way, probably about one kilometer.
Just one hundred meters ahead of me, there is a small hill on top of which Matsuyama Castle is located. I can see a beautiful green leaves from here.

目に見えるものをそのまま素直に表現するのですが、これはこれで、鍛えられるわけです。
例えば、道路には車が走っている。その車はこちらに向かってくるものと、去っていくものがある。
ここでは、up とdown の感覚を体が覚えないとだめなのです。逆に言えば、up とdown の感覚をつかむのはこうした現場でしかないのでしょう。

How to describe a landscape or a scene

Recentlt,I have come to understand the importance of describing a landscape or a scene like a painer's practicing of drawing a sketch. Such a recognition was already born in my mind a fairly long time ago, and these days, such recognition has been intensified.

I hear that many of would-be artists often find the opportunities to make a sketch of something, espacially natural landscapes. But I seldom hear such a story for the people engaged in lingistic activities. I am a professional sightseeing guide certified by the government and always think of the ways for enhancing my ability of English.

I live in Matsuyama, Ehime, a mecca of haiku, where a great master of haiku, Skiki (Masaoka Shiki), was born. Shiki often wandered through a city or its outskitrts and compsed haiku.Shiki's activity of composing haiku in such an occasion must have been done after closely watching various kinds of landscapes.

So, I think there is a deep conection between a painter's training and a linguist's one.

Acoording to my practices,there are two types of expression which are pivotal.

I (can) see O (V, or Ving)....... (type 1: I see....)
There is(are) O (V,or Ving).......(Type2: there is ....)

I have shown you what I am thinking of these days.

Have a good day!
