SAKURA oh yes, Sakura! Japanese tradition to celebrate blossoming cherry treas. Festival celebrate beauty of cherry flowers, who are symbolize Spring time of renewal and fleeting nature of life. Like everything pure and beautiful in life they last for short period of time…
First time in my life I saw hundreds and hundreds blossoming cherry trees in Vancouver. They have a couple of streets with only cherry trees on both side of street. One of them are famous East10 ave. st. (street reserve for bicycle traffic), and when you are riding bike on that street, feel like dream come true! Blossom above, blossom under, blossom on the both side and you are making cloud of blossom behind you to! Completely emerged in white pinkish cherry flowers!
A couple days ago I read news how they are started celebrating Sakura in Japan. But this year is special one. This year, in some part in Japan they had snow on the ground and cherry flowers on the trees. Pretty spectacular! You have contrast and uniformity of whiteness. One kind of white is a snow and second one are cherry blossom! Both are so gentle …
Wait a minute! Where I am? O, so beautiful! White is all around me to! White trees, white ground , white on the bout side of me and behind! Only one problem, it is cold, and that whiteness are snow, snow storm … Snow flakes so big, so intense, that you can not see in front of you …
Sakura! “Sakura po Ruski” echoed in my Soul ! With this image I want to evoke that beautiful memories, and to support celebrating that wonderful festival of cherry blossoms. I ad little bit of pink gamut to evoke feeling of cherry flowers, to transform snow flakes in to blossoms. I had a blast, when I photographing and specially when I edited photo. Brought all that memories! And remind me that everything starting from us! We can transform, create, love and share
