This photo was taken at the fireworks festival at the end of July last year Even though I only had a mini tripod at that time, I could only stand and see where I could get it, so I did my best for 10 seconds of hand-held SS (laughs).

Tokyo Adachi Fireworks Festival Summer is a fireworks festival, but I feel a little lonely because it feels like summer ends as soon as the fireworks end. It's a 🎆 sight I'll never forget

Kasai City, Hyogo Prefecture in Japan is one of the few cities in Japan where balloons fly. The first ordinance in Japan was the "Kasai Ordinance for Balloon Flying Towns". At such a balloon event "Happy Balloon Christmas", there is a light up called "Saint Balloon Night" on the night of December. The balloon did not inflate due to the strong wind, but I took pictures of the fireworks on a winter night and the plastic bottle tree made by the local Kukai area. The fireworks shining on the clear winter night and the illumination of the tree were very beautiful.

Here's a picture of fireworks taken from home!

Magnificent winter fireworks of Odaiba is back with a bang… Usually hanabi can be seen during summertime. But this one is in December that make it different yet special. It has holiday flavour too. Crisp winter ocean wind, super clear sky, incredibly beautiful cityscape and the rainbow bridge all these things escalate beauty of Firework.
