Houranya fire festival is so unique that a croud run around the ground carrying about big torch of 1.5m in diameter like as portable shrine. I know many fire festivals. But specially it is very splendid and sweltering hot. If you take photo of this scene, it is usually hard to catch vividness. This one was taken through the fire at the front of the croud carrying about the big torch. I think hotness and wild excitement can be expressed on this photo.(Lens28-70mm, Iris_f5.6, Auto_exposure, Auto_focus, ISO400) --Reference: Fire festival in Nara--
