This weekend was the end to the biggest festival in Japan, Gion Matsuri. I think something like 70,000 people were in the downtown area enjoying the festival on the Friday night, and about the same amount at the parade on the Saturday. Anyways, I enjoyed wondering around and thought I would share a few decent shots I got. Enjoy!

C&C always welcome!

#1 Squid, my friend said this was the best squid he had ever had in Japan!

#6 Kind of an inside joke with this shot, hard to explain.

    Nice set. I love the light in #2. Some interesting juxtapositions in #5 and, to a lesser extent, #6. Well done.

    Ya, those are my fave as well. I don't like squid, but that looks really good.
