People heading to the sunflower fields and Akeno's summer
Summer scenes from the Akeno Sunflower Festival
Visitors to see the sunflowers walked toward the fields one after another. Beyond them stretched the summer sky and towering thunderhead clouds.
This photo was taken at the Akeno Sunflower Festival in Akeno, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The sunflowers, the visitors, and the distant clouds all combined to make the whole venue feel like summer vacation.
