#flashbackfridays

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all’s neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse’s shell ☁️

Day 30+102: Something for #flashbackfridays. . This was a from a couple of years back, when @agneskristine and I were in Kyoto for the Gion Matsuri. And this was the parade of the Yamahoko floats. . This year, due to the pandemic, many of the activities of the festival were cancelled, as the annual event draws over a million visitors from all over Japan and abroad. It could be a dangerous venue for the spread of the COVID 19. . Incidentally, the festival started in 869AD as a purification ritual against a plague. I wonder if the prayers and rites this time would be able to eventually fight off the Coronavirus. . As we remain in quarantine, clips like this taken pre-COVID, offer not only opportunities for me to reminisce about the past, but also hope for a future where people can travel again, take part in festivals, and celebrate history, culture and life. .
