Praying for the Good Harvest

I usually get up at seven thirty, but this morning I got up before six to go to a nearby Shinto shrine to take pictures of a Shinto ritual praying for a good harvest. It was my second time to photograph it. Last year the ritual was almost over when I arrived there. I was not able to photograph the highlight of the ritual. These two are part of the hightlight that I wanted to shoot. But it was not easy for me to photograph by using a strobe light.
