Just before lighting 五山送り火

8.16

It began raining pretty heavily just before the last event of o-bon, Gozan no Okuribi. Fortunately though, the important observance was conducted smoothly.

All five ceremonial bonfires on mountainsides went out/

Dark returns/

To all five mountains/

今夜はお盆の最終行事の送り火でしたが、点火の直前から大雨になりました。無事に行われましたが。
