A single yellow Lemon Bright cosmos blooming toward the sky, photographed at the National Showa Memorial Park

This photograph captures a solitary yellow Lemon Bright cosmos blooming at the National Showa Memorial Park, shot from a low angle looking up toward the sky. The image emphasizes the flower reaching toward the clear blue sky, creating a simple yet powerful composition. Spanning Tachikawa City and Akishima City in Tokyo, the National Showa Memorial Park is one of the premier tourist spots in the greater Tokyo area for enjoying nature and flowers.The vast grounds are planted with flowers that color the seasons: tulips and cherry blossoms in spring, poppies and fresh greenery in early summer, cosmos and ginkgo avenues in autumn. There's always something to see, no matter when you visit. The autumn Lemon Bright Cosmos field is especially stunning, dyed entirely yellow, creating a magnificent contrast with the blue sky. Another attraction is the opportunity to photograph the field alongside the park's circulating bus and photogenic sculptures.The large tree in the expansive "Everyone's Meadow" is also a popular, symbolic landmark.
