竹富島の風景

Nothing can be better than relaxing near this place by sitting under the shadow of a tree on this hot and humid summer. The calm and eye shooting environment will refresh the mind. In addition many birds will cheers you. The water is so clean that you can see different kind of fishes as well. The color of the boat and the tori gate make this place more attractive.

I've got too many photos to post so I'm making another post today and at least 1-2 more in the next couple days.

After visiting Ritsurin Park we headed towards Takamatsu Castle.

The castle itself had no castle tower but it still had a really nice garden and the moat was pretty cool as well. They had a boat tour of the moat too, but we didn't think it was as extravagant as the one at Ritsurin Park and we were already tired so we decided to skip it and just tour the castle on foot.

There were a variety of different stone lanterns throughout the garden that I thought were pretty cool. I always enjoy seeing the different lantern designs for some reason.

Despite not having a castle tower, the turrets themselves were cool to see. After looking at the first castle tower we crossed a bridge that ran over the moat and headed up to the top. Once we got to the top, where the castle tower was previously located, we had a really awesome view of the area and I was able to get a photo of a boat passing through the moat. They were all wearing straw hats and special clothing, which I think was part of the experience.

After leaving the castle and heading toward our hotel, we arrived at the second turret and it had a nicer view than from inside the castle. I thought the clouds above it looked quite nice as well.

After that we headed to our hotel and rested for a bit and then headed over to a pizza place called PIZZERIA 18 for some dinner. The place had a nice atmosphere and the food was really good as well. We ordered pizza (obviously) and a variety platter as well. It all tasted great. They had Heartland as their nama-beer which I thought was nice. Don't see it very often.

The best thing of summer is the exciting outdoor activities and weekend trips near seaside... During my trip to shirahama we enjoyed lovely sunny beach moments. This is one of the most photogenic spots where you can see the gateway of the shrine and how the two rocks connected with each other with a long rope kind of thing and in between the sea approaches.

Went down to Takamatsu over the 3 day weekend last week. It was the first time either one of us had been to Shikoku before and it was a lot of fun. I'm surprised it's not talked about more, as there's so much stuff to do. We stayed near Takamatsu pretty much the whole time and we still didn't get to visit every place that we wanted to go.

The first day mostly consisted of Ritsurin Park.

The park (garden) itself was quite large and there was a lot of beautiful sights to see. We really wanted to go on the boat ride throughout the park's pond, but unfortunately it started to rain just a tiny bit and they closed the boat for the rest of the day, just before we arrived...☔️

Even still we had a lot of fun walking around the park. There were a lot of koi and turtles swimming in the pond too.
We stopped by a small cafe-like building inside the park and i got an ice cream float and she got a coffee.
In front of the shop one of the custodians came by with a big bucket of fish food and created a feeding frenzy amongst the koi. I'm pretty sure I saw a single catfish in there as well. After we finished our drinks we climbed to one of the best viewing spots in the park which had a really amazing view of the bridge and the pond. You can see the people on the boat we didn't get to ride too lol?

The one building shown in photo 9 was actually a tea house where I think you could try traditional tea ceremony and eat sweets as well, but they also seemed to offer just a normal tea drinking experience as well.
We decided not to try it, but if you like tea ceremony it looked quite nice.

Turquoise sea and red torii gate are two most popular attractions of Shirahama. Summer is undoubtedly best time to visit here and I had some great memories during our last trip to Shirahama.

海の灯まつりinお台場
毎年7月の海の日にに海の安全を祈願して、七色の紙袋にろうそくの火を灯し、お台場ビーチに光のページェントを織りなすイベント。

富岡八幡宮の例祭は8月15日を中心に行われます。俗に「深川八幡祭り」とも呼ばれ、赤坂の日枝神社の山王祭、神田明神の神田祭とともに「江戸三大祭」の一つに数えられています。3年に1度、八幡宮の御鳳輦が渡御を行う年は本祭りと呼ばれ、53基の町神輿が勢揃いして連合渡御する様は「深川八幡祭り」ならではのものです。深川のお祭りは「ワッショイ、ワッシヨイ」の伝統的な掛け声と「水掛け祭」の別名通り、沿道の観衆から担ぎ手に清めの水が浴びせられ、担ぎ手と観衆が一体となって盛り上がるのが特徴で、江戸の粋を今に伝えるお祭りとして、多くの人々によって大切に受け継がれています。

In Buddhism and hinduism, the lotus is associated with purity, spiritual awakening, and faithfulness. For me this flower is a symbol of strength and courage as it emerge from murky waters and live gloriously. From Ueno shinobazu pond

今年の7月に長浜に友人と行った時に見つけた大きな万華鏡の写真です！ドーム状になっていて手動でレバーを回すと中で綺麗な万華鏡が観れるものでした。外側が風車のようにくるくる回る姿が綺麗だったので撮りました

高校の頃の夏に向日葵がよく育っていたので花壇の前で親友と撮ってもらった時のオフショットです。

This hermit crab looks like it is about to take off into the sky. This photo was taken at Yonehara Beach on Ishigaki Island. The hermit crab looks great against the blue sky of early summer.
