Hamamatsu International Mosaiculture

Ayako and I were able to both have days off work on Wednesday, and so we decided to go visit the Hamamatsu International Mosaiculture (ie. plants grown in various shapes), which was happening just down the road from us. We got on our bikes and had a leisure ride to Flower Park where the exhibition was taking place:
About half of the sculptures were from Japan and the other half from around the world including some from very small countries. This one was from Japan:
The girl in the next photo was singing a song about a pony while I took this shot. It was very cute:
This was an impressive sculpture of Mt. Fuji erupting:
We were able to have a nice shot taken in front of it:
Each of the sculptures had been given a prize for some area. This one of green tea being poured won 3rd prize for a 3D entry:
The next one was from Hamamatsu and had classical music playing:
This one was from China:
Ayako seemed almost more impressed with these purple flowers growing along the path and so she wanted her photo taken with them:
Halfway around the park, we watched the water fountain display which was put to music. I'm happy I could get the rainbow in the shot:
This next one is of the large kites that are sometimes flown during festivals in Japan:
Here was a dragon that has steam coming from its mouth:
A cute turtle:
This one won a 2D prize:
As did this one:
But the grand winner of the exhibition was from Canada...Yeah! It's called "The Man who plants tree":
The dog in front was very simple yet very life-like:
Here are some of the sheep that are with him:
As well as some horses running behind him:
It was a beautiful day and so we enjoyed ourselves greatly at the park. Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
