I adore this photo. Can you see her? The little one looking up at her future in the skies?

A line of little kids waiting to dance a traditional Obon dance at the Inokashira Obon matsuri. This little matsuri (festival) is a very small, local affair, with a small stage for the taiko drums and dancers to do their thang. Some of the more popular dances saw spontaneous rings of people dancing in a circle around the outside of the stage.

Simply lovely.
