Salinas, CA (USA) -- The gloomy cast of the sky was in direct contrast to the cheery atmosphere at today's annual Obon Festival in Salinas.
The intricate art of ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) and tea ceremony demonstrations were just some of the many things available at this year’s celebration, held for nine hours at the Buddhist Temple of Salinas on California Street.
