    Members of the III Marine Expeditionary Force Band perform at the Nago Cherry Blossom Festival in Nago Central Park, Okinawa, Japan, Jan. 29. “We invite many people to perform for us, but the III MEF Band stands out because they look nice in the gorgeous uniform and play well,” said Satoru Mandai, director of Nago Junior Chamber. “They heighten the festive mood, so we asked them to play first (at the Sunday stage performance).” (Photo by Hiroko Tamaki)

    A traditional Japanese stone lantern (tōrō) stands in the foreground, partially framed by branches of early-blooming pink cherry blossoms (likely Kawazu-zakura). The granite lantern features carved decorative elements and visible Japanese inscriptions on its shaft. Stone steps with metal railings and dense green foliage are visible in the background.
    An elevated panoramic view of a dense urban cityscape, likely in Okinawa, Japan, framed by blooming cherry blossom (sakura) trees in the foreground. The city consists of numerous multi-story residential and commercial buildings of varying heights, with tree-covered hills visible in the background. The pink blossoms suggest the photo was taken during late winter or early spring.
    A crowd of visitors walks along a stone pathway lined with metal railings beneath partially blooming cherry or plum blossom trees. Red and white decorative paper lanterns are visible hanging among the branches, suggesting a seasonal festival or hanami event. The scene appears to be at a park or shrine in East Asia, likely Japan or Taiwan.
