This photo was taken at Asukayama Park, where I felt the purple flowers in the foreground added a sense of depth.

This photo features hydrangeas along the railroad tracks at Asukayama Park. I focused on the purple hydrangeas in the foreground while consciously aiming for overall three-dimensionality, especially in the densely packed area of flowers further back.During hydrangea season, Asukayama Park becomes a place where you can enjoy the flowers amidst various atmospheres—along the slopes beside the railroad tracks, along the stairway paths, and more. It's also an excellent spot for photography, naturally creating compositions with depth, making it a must-visit location for photography enthusiasts. The changing expressions of the flowers as the light shifts are also a highlight.
