Photography - Aomori, Japan 1991
These images were taken during the Cherry Blossom Festival in Aomori.
We got to the festival just in time to see some cherry blossoms left
on the trees. Most of them had already fallen to the ground or into
the moat surrounding the castle. Blossoms were so heavy on the ground
it looked like snow.
Aomori is on the northern tip of the island of Honshu. The drive
from Misawa to Aomori takes you past bays that have Torii Gates leading
to the Japan Sea. The coast is bordered by a necklace who's pearls
are made of tiny rocky islands that make the drive enchanting.
I lived on the Air Force Base in Misawa, Japan from 1988 to 1992.
