Snow Festival Photos - February 2000
|
Audrey and I enjoyed
the snow festival very much. All the snow lanterns are built by hand and
many are placed throughout Yonezawa by school children and businesses alike. |
It was a long and cold winter
in Yonezawa. This is our backyard after lots of snowfall. |
Here's Audrey eating her favorite
snack...not really. These are very popular in Japan. They are congealed
balls of something like pureed vegetable material. They kind of look like
balls of fat and don't have much taste to them. |
The snow lanterns' light warmed
the chilly night. |
These lanterns stand at least
six feet tall. |
The happy couple braving the
cold... |
There was lots of entertainment
at the Snow Festival including singing and this group of drummers. |
The streets were full of vendors
selling all kinds of food. This man was selling fish on a stick that he
was cooking over hot coals. We opted for chicken fingers another man was
selling! |
Fire meets snow in this bank
of light... |
