In 2008, I was fortunate enough to be in Japan during the cherry blossom season. For the Japanese, this is a special, much-awaited time of the year which is celebrated with Hanami (blossom viewing) parties everywhere. This shot was taken in Ueno Park, Tokyo; its 1000 cherry trees make this park one of Japan's famous viewing spots.
