In this photo, I used the wide-angle mode to capture the sunrise, cherry blossom trees, in a well-balanced manner. The Arakawa River bank that runs through Saitama Prefecture is a place where one can enjoy beautiful sunrises as well as the quietness of early morning. In particular, the view of the trees lining the bank illuminated by the sunlight creates a fantastic scene that will remain in your mind. In the still-dark pre-dawn hours, the trees on the bank emerge as silhouettes, and the sky gradually changes from purple and dark blue to orange, reminding us of the mystery of nature. As the sun peeks over the horizon, the branches and leaves of the trees begin to glow in the soft light, and their long shadows spread beautifully over the bank, like a painting created by nature. Especially on a calm day with no wind, the contrast between light and shadow is even more striking, and the outlines of the trees clearly emerge. In the background, a pale orange sky spreads out, and the entire bank is enveloped in warm light, creating a serene moment of tranquility. This simple yet profound landscape beautifully expresses the beauty of the moment created by nature, and leaves a quiet impression on the viewer.
