This photograph was taken at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. By focusing on the center of the wind chime in the foreground and softly blurring the pathway in the background, I aimed to create a gentle impression and sense of depth. The wind chime corridor at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is an excellent spot for capturing the essence of summer. The sight of wind chimes lined up throughout the shrine grounds, swaying in the breeze and reflecting light, is truly striking. You can enjoy its different beauties depending on the time of day, such as during twilight when soft light filters through.
