Donut for breakfast

A wonderful donut eclipse, this morning.

And this is a short timelapse of the event.

Sky Tree & Super Moon

The angle for this picture was not the best one, but it was nice to have the super moon together with the lit up Tokyo Sky Tree.

Strange things you could find in a Japanese temple.

Takaoka Mikurumayama Matsuri

During the Takaoka Mikurumayama Matsuri, 7 richly adorned Mikurumayama (御車山, floats) are drawn solemnly around the city according to the ancient customs. 

It seems that only the boys are allowed to board the floats, and only the ones belonging to the families of the owners. Judging from their faces, though, they did not really seem very happy.
