Daily HDR Photo — Sakura Tunnel
Today’s photo is some Sakura, or Cherry Blossoms. The way they are draping over the path gives a nice tunnel effect, wouldn’t you say?
About
Actually this spot is quite popular. Every March hundreds of photographers flock to this exact spot, all hoping to get the best photo of the sakura tunnel. Not only do each of the photographers have to wait their turn, but since there are hundreds of people out to enjoy the blossoms, we have to wait for them to stop walking into our shots. Completely worth it, though.
Specifically, these are Someiyoshino (So-may-yo-she-no), one of the whiter kinds of Sakura, the most popular kind in Japan and also a relatively new one having only been created towards the end of the Edo Period. I have hundreds of Sakura photos and I try to leak them out every few weeks. Go look at previous shots.

Even as little as 50 cents would be much appreciated and would help keep JapanDave running. You can make a one-time contribution here or a $2 recurring contribution here.
