Fireworks dancing like a shower This will take place in Gunma Prefecture 　　　　　　"Tatebayashi Tetsutsu Fireworks Festival" Every year in July, the fireworks that men risk their lives to perform are a masterpiece to watch.

I went to the Hoshi Onsen Longevity Museum in Gunma. It was very cold and cold at night, but I slowly warmed up on the hearth, and my body and soul were warmed while being enveloped in gently rising smoke ... I was able to spend a healing time.

I took this photo on the riverbed near the school, where I went to my high school photography club. It is a troublesome weed that usually grows on the ground, but when I took a photo, it bloomed like a fireworks in the sky, and it was very interesting to see what I usually see when I change my point of view. In addition, the "sticking mush" taken in the backlight of the setting sun seemed to invert the light shadows between the sky and the blooming fireworks, signaling the end of summer.

I went to the Takasaki Festival fireworks festival in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture for the first time. While being watched over by Takasaki White Robe Daikannon, which is a landmark of Takasaki City, the fireworks festival ended without rain. The next tournament was short, but the fireworks was great, with 15,000 shots in 45 minutes. Before the start, lightning was happening in various places and rain clouds were gathering, but only the area around my area near Takasaki White Robe Daikannon was covered with clouds and there was no cloud overhead. It started raining right after the end of the fireworks festival, so it was a valuable experience that I thought was saved from raining thanks to Kannon-sama.

Summer is all about fireworks I first saw it in Tatebayashi a few years ago hand-held fireworks I was captivated by this brave figure.
