Lotus Park in Minami Echizen, Fukui, is my favorite place to see lotus flowers every summer. This year, I visited here at around 3 P.M. and as always started to take pictures furiously. Sometime later when I looked up, it was already getting dark and a beautiful sun was setting over a distant mountain. Since I'd never seen a sunset here, I became ecstatic and decided to stay a little longer to capture the sunset and the illuminated lotus at night. The night was cool and the white and pink lotus flowers lit up in the dark were just fantastic! For the daytime video, please refer to this article on Japan Travel.
