Hanami at night

Cherry blossom fever continues. Yesterday evening we went to see the cherry blossoms lit up along the Nogawa river. The event was started eleven years ago with the lighting up of a single tree.

Sakura along the Nogawa
Against a black sky, the white trees look even more surreal and make for a somewhat tricky camera subject...Click on any of the images for a larger view, or here to see a video.

Crowd pleaser
The lights are only set up for one night, and only three hours, so it draws quite a crowd. Police were on the scene to tell people to move along.

Lovely, isn't it?

Are the sakura still in full bloom around your place? In my area it's all pretty green by now.

All the trees in my neighbourhood have been snowing petals for several days now, I think there won't be much left to see after the weekend.
