Chasing Sakura in Japan

Sakura or "cherry blossom" season in Japan is something that everyone needs to experience. This photo was taken in the Springtime in Nagoya, Japan. It took some time and many shots in order to get just the right one, without too many patrons walking past. You can feel the warmth of the spring sun piercing through the clouds and trees, yet the sweaters tell you that it is not quite summer yet. And, of course, the entire bridge and surround areas were saturated with beautiful white and pink sakura.
