This photo was taken at Nakain, where I felt like I was looking up at a mimosa tree bathed in bright light.

This photo was taken looking up at the tall mimosa tree within the temple grounds, using a brighter exposure setting. The flowers, translucent in the light, evoke the warmth of spring. The mimosa blooming in the Chūin temple precincts creates a beautiful contrast between the subdued tones of the temple architecture and its vivid yellow, making it a perfect spot for photography. The flower clusters, softly illuminated by the sunlight, are subjects that invite you to enjoy composing the shot while considering the balance with the background.
