Hanamatsuri: Buddha’s Natal Day (April 8)

I took this picture in a resort which my family and I visited last weekend. This wooden sculpture of Buddha is about five (5) feet tall.

“In Japan, Buddha’s birthday is observed every April 8 with Hanamatsuri, or “Flower Festival.” On this day people bring fresh flowers to temples in remembrance of the Buddha’s birth in a grove of blossoming trees.” — Excerpts from About Religion

I like taking photos while driving my way to the office and back home in Metro Manila, Philippines. Considering the high volume of traffic along one of the major roads in the Metro called EDSA, full stop on the road is normal, specially during rush hours. And in such stops, I take pictures of buildings, the skies, any trees that I see, and almost anything that interests me. I'm quite new in photography but is really having fun taking candid shots of people. I hope you will like my photos and do visit me in my blog... photoniompong.WordPress.com. See you there! :)
