Hydrangea Festival in Okinawa

Uploaded: May 16, 2013

Description

Towards the end of May in the Village of Izena the hills are covered with millions of hydrangea flowers. This photo was taken last year at the festival using a Pentax KD10, tripod and Sigma 10-20 at 13mm. May 23, 2012 at 10:37AM f/22 1/20 ISO 100. Over 30 years ago, the woman living in the orange-tiled roof house began converting tangerine fields into this beautiful garden. She is a beautiful lady, too and, just a few years shy of being 100 years old, she keeps tending the garden ! Contest Category: Flowers
