Some photos from early this month of the Mitsuwa summer festival. This is the Japanese festival that i like the most but unfortunately it was canceled most of it because of the heavy thunderstorms. they didn’t allow to stay outside so i didn’t take picture of the rain either. Many people left but they reopened at the end for the best part the bon dance but i still can’t believe that i miss it most of it as i got there with my camera for the last 10-15 min. I had to go in burst mode shooting everything it moves… lol

at least i think i got some decent photos
