Kabira Bay 2023.07 Memories of my trip to Okinawa Since it was close to evening, I was able to take a picture when no one was around. You can't swim in Kabira Bay because the tide stream fast, but you can take a walk in the bay in a glass boat. You can relax while looking at the seabed in the beautiful bay.

Fuchu, Hiroshima Recommended Spot in Hiroshima #Bingo Kokufu Festival One piece 📸 with handmade fireworks from the Bingo Kokufu Festival held the other day I tried hand-held fireworks again this year, but I couldn't take the best photos because I couldn't 😭 take continuous shots at the right time due to the clogged buffer I thought this was the most decent, so I'll 😅 put it out first The cheap shutter release doesn't feel like you're pressing the button, and when you think you can't press it, you turn it inside out, or if you press it forcefully, it locks, and you can't stop continuous shooting, and the camera is out of breath and the shutter can't be released. Hiroshima dialect It was! 🤣

Hiroshima Fukuyama Tomonoura 　 Hiroshima Recommendation festival Spot #Shinto ritual #Numana Shrine One of the three major fire Festival of Japan, the Flame Paper Festival, is a hot festival in which three large torches weighing 150 kg are carried up and slowly ascended over a three-hour period while taking turns on the stone steps to the worship hall. The Chinese at the festivals were covered with sparks and covered with water! It was very powerful! Will the camera burn? Or will it get wet? I'm determined to take on the challenge of shooting! All the photographers were sweaty and amazing! 😂 It was too much fun, but it was 🤣 too exhausting It will last for a while!
