The photo I saw of the fireflies in the Japanese forest was mesmerizing!

Over the years I’ve tried (as a very skilled amateur photographer with sold works) to capture fire flys with the same sense as I experienced. Fastest lens and fastest films never caught the charm...and just maybe we were never meant have pictures and video. Truly one of those “you had to be there experiences”.
Most dramatic encounters was on a moonless night in an old no sidewalks suburb with grand old oak canopies, no street lights. There was an empty building lot between two widely separated homes that was like a stage, dense poplars at the property line and deep woods in the back. We were taking a late night stroll and suddenly came acoss. thousands slowly dancing around and up and down in that dark enclave, like a diorama of another universe. Must have stayed watching for close to half an hour. One of my most memorable nature moments.
Beautiful...
