The pride of Echizen City's fireworks festival "Old Takefu". Fireworks come in a variety of shapes, and if you take a picture with a camera, you can see them clearly. The culmination of fireworks masters. Depending on the state of the human mind and the mind that sees it, the image and favorite change. My favorite now is thin streaming lines.

Ichijo Falls in Fukui Prefecture. This is a place deep in the mountains, where you can find flowers, flowers, and cobwebs everywhere. Ichijo Falls in the middle of summer is very thin, but even so, the hydrangeas, which have become unbearable in this year's heat, have become dry and have been webbed by spiders everywhere. Nature is not only beautiful, but I don't want to lose it.

When I went to Ichijo Falls in Fukui Prefecture, I saw summer hydrangeas. In Japan, where summer began early, the hydrangeas, which had been beautiful, were turned into carakaras and ephemeral appearances.

Asakura Ruins in Fukui Prefecture. This is the place just past the Kara Gate. There was a road like this. I wonder if I can peek, walk, and peek into that era.

"Takefu Fireworks" in the former Takefu in Fukui PrefectureThe Fireworks Festival Held in on the same day of Obon every year is something that "Takefu people" are proud of. Now, it has been reborn as "Echizen City" due to the merger of cities, but this fireworks festival is still something that "Takefu" is proud of.
The fireworks reflected by Hinogawa were not only beautiful, but also somewhat ephemeral.

It's 😵 been a hot day
Recommended on such a hot day is "Lotus soft serve ice cream" ❗️
The slightly greenish soft serve ice cream with lotus powder is not too sweet, and you will want to eat it asexually in this hot season ☆
You can eat lotus soft serve ice cream at "Hoyaktei" in the Roadside Station Minami-Echizen Sankairi!
