Japanese Bride
May 15, 2011    f/11   1/250 second
   
         
   
After photographing Nara I arrived at a hotel in Kyoto quite late at night and I pulled out my "Lonely Planet". Just by stroke of luck I found that there was a parade in Kyoto that next morning. I plan to eventually post more photos of the parade as people seem quite interested in it. For now I am posting this image because my Thai friends seem keenest on it. They tell me that the lady under the umbrella is the bride, and feel that this is for real, even though I don't know whether she is really getting married, or just performing for the parade.  (Kyoto, Japan)
