This compilation is dedicated to my grandparents, who lived and enjoyed since newborns living in this small but enchanting place. I would like to express my gratitude towards them for sharing with me this beautiful sights with me. The album contains some of the sceneries found on the countryside nature and festivities. I hope you enjoy it too.

Nature PHOTOGRAPHY This shoots were made in different areas of Innoshima. Some of these areas include Habu Park and Woods of the Takuma Shrine among others. The shoots were made in spring, summer and autumn.

Abstract PHOTOGRAPHY ABSTRACT I Innoshima is all surrounded by the sea but you can observe the neighboring islands across it. At night almost no lights are seen due to the vast sea surrounding it except for little lights of the stars and the scattered lights of neighboring islands gleaming from far away. This are some shoots of this peaceful lights but I decided to shape them so that these lights could acquire a more joyful personality.

ABSTRACT II This are some curious shapes I found in the sea shore while walking by the sea. I wanted photograph these shapes and create photography with some texture in it.

ABSTRACT II

SUI GUN MATSURI PHOTOGRAPHY This is a series of shots I made while assisting the Suigun Matsuri a festivalheld in the Seto Inland Sea in honor to the Murakami Suigun. It is one of the greatest festivals of the year in which many people attend and a fire ritual is performed. I was very interested by this ritual so I decided to share what I captured of it.

Fireworks PHOTOGRAPHY Japan is well known for its giant fireworks by the sea in festival seasons. This are some of the shots I made from various fireworks by the sea in Innoshima.
