This is the final scene of the "Otsu Shiga Fireworks Festival 2024" Held in in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture on July 25, 2024. The fireworks were launched off Lake Biwa at Omi Maiko Beach in Otsu City, but the shooting point was taken from the sandy beach on the Lakeside a few tens of meters south of the southern end of Shirahige Beach in Takashima City, and over the Torii (shrine gate) gate of Shirahige Shrine. This Spot is becoming more popular every year, and it was crowded with many people on the day of the event. #Summer #Photo Contest #Shiga #Takashima City #Otsu Shiga Fireworks Festival #Lake Biwa #Shirahige Shrine #Fireworks

Azuchi Castle Ruins It is Azuchi Castle, which Oda Nobunaga built as a base for the unification of the world and made it his own residence. It was destroyed by fire shortly after Nobunaga's death. It is a paving stone that remains in the ruins of the castle tower of Azuchi Castle. Is it because of the raging fire that it is turning red? I remember wiping my sweat off the steep slope with high steps, and the rain-soaked shore of Lake Biwa, which Nobunaga must have seen, was also impressive. Anyway, I saw "The Dream of the Strong" and felt the impermanence of all things.
