Ducks facing sideways at Amabiki Kannon (Mt. Amabiki Rakuhoji Temple)

This photo shows two ducks on top of the underwater flowers at Amabiki Kannon, looking sideways together. At Amabiki Kannon, the precincts are decorated with hydrangeas at their best and underwater flowers floating in the pond, and animals such as goats, ducks, and white peacocks add to the unique atmosphere. The temple is a place full of charm, where you can see a different face every time you pick up your camera.
