This photo was taken at Shiofune Kannonji Temple and was felt to be an "overhead composition of a mortar azalea.

This photo was taken from near the observatory, looking down on the azaleas spreading out like a mortar, with an eye toward creating a three-dimensional composition. The azaleas are a springtime tradition at Shiobune Kannon-ji Temple. The azaleas blooming in the quiet precincts of the temple soothe the hearts of visitors. The view from the hill is breathtaking.
