Rows of cherry blossoms can be fascinatingly elegant. Especially, at night and along a river. Kiyamachi Street along the Takase River in downtown Kyoto is one of the city's most popular spots for cherry blossoms and for fine dining. When I walked down the street along the river, one pale pink petal fluttered lightly down. I looked up at the tree. The branches were waving in the breeze. People who walked under the cherry trees or dined along the river with friends or family were all enjoying this wonderful, magical night. And so was I.
