Firefly

Hakuri-cho, Okazaki City

Until recently, I thought we couldn't see fireflies at a densely-populated place. Our consciousness of natural environment has built up, and we can see fireflies near at hand.
I enjoyed the fantastic representation of light. I took many pictures, but most of them are only black. And what is worse, I mistook the setting of the camera in darkness. So the pictures are all low resolution. I'm sorry.
I think we cannot make a film of a wonderful representation of light not with a digital camera but with a single lens reflex camera. I'll make a challenge some day.

My daughter called out to me "Dad, come on! They are mating."
I don't know which picture is the copulation.
