Hot summer day. Rainbow in the mist. The view of Kobe Port Island South Park, a summer time when the fountain turned into mist and a rainbow could be seen.

Three-city joint fireworks festival 🎆 This year, the event was 🤤 held jointly by the three municipalities I was able 🤤 to see some nice fireworks at the end of summer

(3/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! I had been to Maruike spring water before, but this harvest was a small path that continued from the back of the pond. There was a waterway that I liked, so I went on, and at first it was a beautiful road with a bamboo fence and stylish electric lights, but as I went deeper, I was able to pass by a few private houses, and I was able to take a quiet and absent-minded walk. From the next time I went, I was satisfied that this path was also a set, and it was Maruike spring water in the summer of 2024.

(2/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! On this day, there were few ripples, and the bottom of the water was very visible. You can feel the underlying power of Maruike spring water where the dead leaves submerged in the water do not interfere with the scenery. Also, there is a staircase in the water that feels a little algae. If you concentrate only on this area, you can enjoy a submerged sense of the city (maybe). Then there was the moss thriving at a level that you would never see in the water. There were many of them growing as vigorously as broccoli, and it was a forest. of moss.

(1/3) I went to "Maruike spring water" in the spring water Town of Kagoshima Prefecture! It was a wonderful Spot where people came to fetch spring water with a large container, families picnicking on sheets in the shade of the trees beside the pond, and couples looking at the bottom of the water with a smile.

We walked around the Precincts until the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival started. I found a wind chime with a red thread.

The sight of two 24-meter-high castle lanterns and two 17-meter-high castle lanterns parading through the city was truly spectacular!

"Venison Festival!!!" Following last year, the Venison Festival was held again! Deer can eat crops and flowers, and collisions with cars can cause accidents, making them a troublesome presence. However, in Nishiokoppe Village, where deer are relatively numerous, some people are working not to treat deer simply as pests but to use them as a resource. This event was part of those efforts, a day to deliciously enjoy deer caught in Nishiokoppe right there in Nishiokoppe. Some participants were village residents, but the vast majority came from outside the village. Whole roasts, stews, hamburgers and sausages. Everything was superb, and many attendees came back for seconds and thirds. Thank you to everyone who came! #Nishiokoppe Village #deer #Venison Festival #meat #NPO Nishiokoppe Village Hunting District Management Association #Thank you for the meal"

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It is a wind chime corridor with a rain Gari.

We went to the fireworks festival on the Tama River. The photo I took at the beginning was very beautiful.

(2024-08-08) Lake Biwa Grand Fireworks Festival Part 5 I've always wanted to take a picture of the "Lake Biwa Grand Fireworks Festival" Held in on August 8 I went on a bullet tour (driven by a friend) Since last year, this fireworks festival has been charged and a fence has been set up. Although it is controversial that it cannot be viewed freely This was a twisted tactic of looking down from the rest area in the Halfway up of Mt. Hiei Of course, this used to be free (the Mt. Hiei skyline that passes through the rest area is a toll road), but in conjunction with the charging of bleachers, fireworks 7,500 yen last year and 10,000 yen this year will be charged for cars parked for viewing purposes (;' ∀') According to the Information on the Internet, there would be no place to put the tripod at noon on the day, so we left quite early I was picked up at 0:00 a.m. and departed. ↓ Arrived at the site around 7:20 ↓ Wait for 12 hours until 19:30 ↓ 19:30~20:30 Appreciation + Photography ↓ 21:00~05:00 The worst 12 hours of my life on-site standby (outdoors under the blazing sun) Bright red on both arms, around the neck, and around the face (;' ∀') With SPF 50 sunscreen, it only lasts a few hours. Even though I tried to secure a good place to go so far By the time we arrived, the best shooting spots were already filled with tripods According to the preliminary survey, it was said that it would be filled with tripods after noon. So we were prepared to give ourselves plenty of time if we arrived after 7 a.m. Completely lagging behind (;' ∀') It was too late ww However, I'm glad that I was in a position where I could shoot without any problems at all if I paid a little attention to the angle of view

Prayer at Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine today. Hanachozu and yo-yo omikuji. It's my favorite scenery.

A sunflower field that bloomed beautifully

I went to the Festival with my family. Bon dance? Fireworks? No, when it comes to festivals, it's food! It is a photo of my son yellowtail on corn in a straight line without any hesitation.

Summer in Japan, returning to the countryside. Memories of a summer are also an adventure story for children. That thrill and excitement that I experienced when I was a child. I wonder if this is how it will be passed on.

It is a fireworks festival in Kameoka, Kyoto. The couple standing while everyone was sitting and watching. (It's a place where standing room doesn't bother you.)

It is a five-mountain send-off fire in Kyoto. Although it was taken from Arashiyama, there is also a houseboat and there is a Thereare atmosphere.

Speaking of summer, Bathing in the sea. This is Keino pine grove Beaches on Awaji Island. It was so beautiful!

On the way back from the lively summer festival, the number of people gradually decreased. From the nostalgic scenery of the stalls, I felt the loneliness of the lights of the buildings and apartments gradually increasing.

Photographed 8/30/24. It is Hanachozu of Kawagoe Hachimangu Shrine.
