This the Sanja Matsuri, where the locals carry their mikoshi, portable but very heavy shrines, to the Asakusa Temple, Tokyo. I loved seeing the enthusiasm as everyone joined in to lug in around a hundred shrines. But this particular one attracted more interest, followers and photographers than most. The clue to why, is the man you can see waiting for it; his tattoos indicate he is Yakusa, the Japanese mafia. So I had to wonder whether, in this instance, the prime motivation was devotion or duty?

Fuji and Phlox by Tabithag

We were in Japan and heard about this festival where they plant out thousands of moss phlox, so we went along to see it. It looked stunning, with Mount Fuji in the background. I had to get down low to get the flowers in the foreground like this, but I liked the effect. what the camera doesn't capture is the sound of hundreds of very excited Japanese people oohing and giggling at the sight of Fuji-san and the phlox
