KFT Shinsaibashi - Final Scene

The last Shinsaibashi KFT was held on September 22nd.
In honour of the movie the dress code was 'gangster'.





It just fit, so I added a few words to this last picture.

Yatai and Fireworks

On the first of August, one of the largest fireworks displays, at least in terms of how many shells are used (20,000 this year) in Japan is held in a city quite close to where I live.

Festivals of all kinds include the 'Yatai' or street cart vendors selling food and drinks.

As the oven like parking lot we had chosen to watch the fireworks was surrounded by power lines and flags advertising for a nearby restaurant, here are some abstract shots of the fireworks display.
