Festive taiko drums during festival in Ibaraki Precture.
Kimono- and armor-clad dolls on a traditional float in the parade.
Street decoration for the festival and parade using bamboo and the symbol of the local town.
Paved road running along the top of a river bank.
Warm and wet regardless of the early fall. Love the mist covering the low areas of the valley.
Huge red bridge crossing the river. Normally, the river is not flowing so heavily, so there is a lot of farming going on between the river and the river bank.
Of course, should the waters rise, these farmers will be at a loss.
Growing rice along the river.
The mist completely blocks the view of the mountains in the distance.
Harvested rice and rice waiting to be harvested.
Normally, I don't like the view of power lines scarring the view of the skyline, but these towers are the tallest things in the whole valley of farms and rice paddies.
Even rice farmers get lighted streets!
Green onions waiting to be harvested.
Small town the next morning.
This shot was a mistake, but liked the strange effect so kept it anyway.
Local farmers really take a lot of effort to keep the appearance of their homes looking nice.
Wall of yellow!
Wall of green!
