This photograph was taken with the intention of capturing the beautiful reflection of the sunrise and the bridge. The embankment along the Arakawa River flowing through Saitama Prefecture is a spot rich in nature, offering scenery that changes with the seasons. However, especially in the early morning, a fantastical scene unfolds with the sunrise. Particularly near the Keihin-Tohoku Line, the silhouette of the railway bridge harmonizes beautifully with the morning glow. The sky's colors and the bridge are reflected on the tranquil river surface, creating a scene of beauty reminiscent of a painting.Before sunrise, the eastern sky gradually brightens, spreading a gradient of colors from purple and deep navy to orange, evoking a sense of nature's mystery within the stillness.Then, as the sun emerges from the horizon, soft light reflects off the iron bridge and river surface, bathing the entire landscape in a golden glow. On windless days, the water becomes perfectly still, like a mirror. The symmetrical reflection of the sky and bridge creates an impressive, unified image. When a train passes over the bridge, movement is added to the natural stillness, completing a dynamic scene where nature and man-made structures harmonize.
