Gorgeous Summer night

How's Summer doing there?

Here in Nagano, stepping in of September means the going out of Summer.








Bear decided that we catch the final fireworks of Summer last weekend. I couldn't be more pleased! =D



We got so much to thank the Lord for a splendid night out!! Smooth traffic flow, discovery of good bento ( 弁当、 packet food ) and good spot for pitching our picnic mat. Last but not least, an angry rain that raided shortly after the fireworks display. It would have been such a let down from above if rain descended during the fireworks show.

I don't know about you though... To me, fireworks hint romance. Fireworks remind me of a scene in Romeo and Juliet ( 1996 ), where the innocent young hearts fell in love at first sight under the fireworks galore. I don't want to know what fate Shakespeare has dictated for the star-crossed lovers, I merely wish to indulge in that magical moment... the ecstasy of falling in love... Tell me I'm not the only hopeless romantic around!

Fireworks... their beauty is so terribly shortlived. I guess pictures can never be good enough to capture the gorgeous moment anyway.

As we left to get the car, the Bear said in his boyish fervour ' I would like to catch it again next year! '

.

' Umm... we'll see.. ' said me. ;)

Have a brilliant week, with everything falling in nice and timely. =)
