The 15th was a public holiday known as Marine Day and I went to check out an awesome festival in Shiogama (near Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture). Portable shrines are loaded aboard two special boats and some 100 fishing boats tail behind as the shrines are ferried around Matsushima Bay.

Decorated boats take part in the Shiogama Minato Matsuri near Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture Monday to mark Marine Day. Omikoshi or portable shrines are loaded aboard two lavish boats as part of the festival, one of Japan’s big three boat festivals and marking the beginning of summer festivals in the Tohoku region. Some 100 fishing and cruise boats tailed behind as the shrines were ferried around Matsushima Bay before being being paraded through the streets of Shiogama and returned to their grounds.
今月７日の日曜日ですが、二日酔いで空気がおいしい海に行きたかったのと、前から魚市場でのセリ見たかったので、気仙沼の魚市場の様子を観に行きました。７時半ぐらいに着いたら、セリは殆ど終わっていた時点だったけど、それでも次の素敵な写真を撮れました(・∀・) ※ここではいくつかの写真が横になってしまっていますが、解決できれば直します（ ´(ェ)｀）
Below pics were taken at the fish market in Kesennuma on July 7. I arrived a bit late (about 7am) but still managed to catch the below scenes. Some pics are sideways; if I figure out how to correct them I'll fix it.
