This photo captures what I felt was "a carpet of colorful flowers woven along the slope" at Tambara Lavender Park.

This photograph captures a slope covered in vibrant blooms from above, creating a composition that resembles a colorful carpet spreading across the hillside. It highlights the vivid hues of the flowers and the slope's three-dimensional depth, emphasizing the beauty of nature.Tambara Lavender Park, located at an altitude of 1,300 meters in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, is a beloved summer tradition for many. Here, lavender, salvia, marigolds, and other colorful flowers spread across the landscape, creating a scene reminiscent of a vibrant carpet woven by nature.The photos taken this time capture the diverse flowers—salvia, marigolds, lavender, and more—from a viewpoint looking down from the top of the slope. Particular attention was paid to composition, aiming for a balance where the flower field and sky occupy roughly equal parts, ensuring the vivid colors of the flowers and the blue sky stand out. By emphasizing the expansiveness of the flower field, the photos convey the refreshing, highland atmosphere just by looking at them.
