This photograph captures the dark reflection of willow trees at a fishing pond along the embankment. Along the Arakawa River embankment stretching through Saitama Prefecture, a quiet fishing pond stands. At dawn or dusk, the silhouettes of trees reflected on the water create a beautiful, dark reflection.On calm, windless days, the water surface becomes perfectly still, like a mirror. The silhouettes of the standing trees and their intricate branches and leaves are sharply reflected, creating a fantastical scene that feels like a work of art born from nature. The fishing pond's scenery changes with each season: in spring, fresh greenery colors the water surface; in summer, deep green gives a cool impression; in autumn, the hues of the autumn leaves display a subdued beauty.In winter, the simple silhouettes of bare branches alone are reflected on the water's surface, evoking a profound sense of quiet charm. Especially at dusk, as the light fades and the water takes on a deeper hue, the dark reflections become more pronounced, further enhancing the natural stillness and beauty.
