If you can’t read Japanese, what you can purchase at these temporary shops, set up just for this evening’s event, are buttered potatoes, cold pineapple, yakisoba, and “snowballs.”

I intended to use my tripod a lot this past summer in Japan and Korea. However, it was a cheap tripod and a piece broke off in my luggage on the way over. I couldn’t fix it and ended up leaving it in Korea. I did still use it a few times as it still worked if I was very careful. Today’s photo was one such occasion. This image was a 30-second exposure.
