What it takes is only your imagination (..and bit of the photo editing skill.)

I just created this image.

Because when I saw this image,

I thought "hey, it's only vertical flipping; I can do that too."

So, I took the Jodoga-Hama beach picture from this page to create the similar image.

I cut the Jodoga-Hama beach horizontally at where I want make the reflection in the bottom of it. Also, I made the lower half bigger by cutting little bit off from the upper part to emphasize the reflection just like the image above. (I have just noticed what this person who created the image on above was "stretching" the reflection part longer vertically, not cutting a bit. O, well.)

Then, I got the keyboard girl from this site.

I place her front middle part of the image to make it looks like she is creating her background world by playing her keyboard. Then, I flipped her and shorten it to make the reflection. (How come I did not notice this method when I was working on the background? O, well.)

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS? Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week. Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　　　　　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet. 　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias. 　　 Well, these are my new pages: Please give your "like" on my pages. You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
