r/hiroshima

I filmed this video near my workplace in Hiroshima as I prepare to leave my job.

Over the years, this place has been connected to many emotions for me. Some days were frustrating, some were rewarding, and many were somewhere in between. As my resignation gets closer, I find myself feeling two opposite things at the same time: relief that I'm moving on, and sadness about leaving a place that has been part of my life for so long.

While walking around with my SIGMA fp, I tried to capture that feeling of being between one chapter and the next.

I also realized how much support I received from my wife during difficult times. Looking back, I'm grateful that she stayed beside me through all of it.

This video is less about the scenery itself and more about the emotions attached to it.

Very sad and not sure if anything can be done. I happened upon this very sick stray while on vacation in Setoda, Japan two days ago. It has a bum front left paw and mange with open wound on its neck. I put my umbrella on the ground for it and tried to arrange for a way to care for it. It stayed with me for a few minutes then limped away with decent speed. I followed it into a narrow back alley where it disappeared. I returned several times over the next day and did not see it again. I am on vacation and unfortunately have already moved on.

Edit for clarity and more info. I can provide more specific location information if it helps. I regret not grabbing it when I had the chance - but i had nothing with me and no plausible way to care for it if I did get it back to our small hotel.

Update 4:20PM Japan time zone. In touch with Japan Cat Network who will try to send someone out to trap the cat. Please look up their organization and consider donating, not for this cat necessarily as I will cover expenses, but for their work generally. Much appreciated everyone.
