Hydrangeas bloomed in Kohtoku Temple, located in Sera-town, Hiroshima Prefecture. Weather condition of the day I visited there was cloudy, just after a short rain. Light condition was very gentle and it's enhanced hydrangea's nobleness.

A young blossom yet fully tinted, surrounded by gentle morning light.	Graceful blue blossoms with rain drops on them.	Another charming blossoms with fine color combination of light violet and cream yellow.
Another kind of hydrangea, called GAKU-AJISAI in Japanese. This has blossoms in peripheral positions.	Overview of GAKU-AJISAI. I feel it's a scene of galaxies in green cosmic space!	GAKU-AJISAI tinted in various deep pinks. This color combination is like Kimono in ancient Japanese era, over 1000 years ago.
