Tsuchiura fireworks and other pictures
2008
Long, long ago (October 4th) in a city far far away (Tsuchiura) there was a fireworks festival. This one is a bit different from the other summer fireworks you can see around Tokyo, as it is a place where fireworks makers meet and demonstrate their newest and most creative arrows.
The huge arrows are one at a time and are introduced with the name of the maker and a number. Most of them have something happening while they go up (such as multiple small pre-explosions) before the actual bang comes.

The last week of December it was really clear, so I decided to give it a try and took all my camera stuff to there. I had heard long before that Mt. Fuji would be visible just inbetween the skyscrapers of Shinjuku, which should give a nice picture. (There was always a huge print of such a picture at Shinjuku station west exit, I'm not sure if it is still there...)
