Ten-odd years ago, I used to visit the reclaimed land with my camera in my hand on every weekend.

The wind blowing over the wharf was nice and the scenery of rough and spacious land gave me as if I were in another planet. I was releasing the shutter feeling strange relief by the scenery just like the end of the earth and the scenery with no name.

Come to think of it now, it was undoubtedly my own scenery - the scenery nobody can see. From that time on, I probably keep on searching for it.
