Fireflies in June of Kyoto

At night when you find the object above, what do you feel? Is it weird? Or sometimes it looks scarring? 

This is the wash-stand in a famous shrine, Shimogamo-jinaja shrine(下鴨神社).


I went there to observe fireflies at about 21:00. So the gateway to go to the main building was closed. And yet, there were people who came for fireflies.


When you turn right, and go into the small path, you will find the stream with fireflies. They are so beautiful! But, my camera doesn't work well in the dark. So I couldn't take a photo of them.

They are special just in June. The come out after sunset to around 21:30. 

June is also nice season for traveling in Japan. For hydrangea flowers and any other things. Of course Kyoto has some special things!
