A Huge Pillar


huge pillar

Actually, I was going to write this entry until yesterday evening. However I could not write. I think you see the reason.

Yesterday, the weather was rain in the morning. It became fine around noon, but it was cloudy and looked like rain again toward evening.

In evening, I was coming back to my office by car. At the top of slope, I saw a huge pillar in the sky.
This photo is the crucial moment. I took this during driving.
(What dangerous! You never do like me)



“巨大な柱”

実は、昨日の夕方までこのエントリーを書くつもりだった。けれど、書けなくなった。理由はわかると思うけど。

昨日、午前中は雨だった。お昼頃には晴れてきたけど、夕方になると雲が出て、また雨が降りそうに見えた。

夕方、車で会社に戻っていた。坂道を登った時、空に大きな柱が見えたんだ。
この写真は、その決定的な瞬間だ。僕はこれを、車を運転しながら撮ったんだよ。
(危なっ!みんなは真似しないように)

hi dear AEZ
i think it`s better to write " the weather was rainY in the morning" add y after rain
another thing is about next sentence i think you must add "the" before evening
at the last i think you mean rainbow instead of pillar!!!
all are just my opinon it can be wrong!!!
best regards mss

How dangerous, indeed! Please be careful while photographing and driving!

Thanks for your comments.

It's difficult to use "article" and "preposition" for Japanese.

"What" is wrong. "How"! I see.

"Actually, I was going to write this entry until yesterday evening." delete "until"
"I think you see the reason." --> "I think you understand why."

"Yesterday, the weather was rain in the morning." --> "It was rainy yesterday morning."/ "Yesterday morning was rainy"
"It became fine around noon," --> "It was fine at noon"/"It became better at noon"
"but it was cloudy and looked like rain again toward evening." --> "but later it became cloudy and looked like rain again."

"In evening," --> "That evening"
"I was coming back" --> "I came back" (use past tense to be consistent with the rest of the entry)
"At the top of slope, I saw a huge pillar in the sky." (very good!)
"This photo is the crucial moment. I took this during driving." --> "This photo was taken at a critical moment: I was driving."
"(What dangerous! You never do like me)" --> "How dangerous! Don't act like me" / "How dangerous! Don't follow my example."

Yes, please be careful.

OK, after looking at your Japanese version, here's what I'd write:

Actually I was going to post this yesterday but I couldn't. I think you understand why.

Yesterday morning it was raining.The sun came out around noon, but it got cloudy again and it looked like rain toward evening.
In the evening when I was driving back to work, I suddenly saw this huge pillar of light at the top of the hill I was going up. I took this photo right at the crucial moment - while I was driving! (It was dangerous, so please don't try it!)

I hope you found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

hello to Japan from Ireland. I try to write a bilingual blog in German and in English but I have the same problems like you: to speak the English language is far easier than to write it!!! congratulations to your courage to do it anyway and to choose blogging as a way of learning English! and what a funny idea to get help from all over the world!!!!

Hi, it does not matter that we don't speak or write well in English. What matters most is that YOU actually make an effort to learn & improve your command of the English language. I'm still learning too...

When you wrote "huge pillar" I was trying to figure out what it was that you saw, then I realized it was the "rainbow" :-)
