A shot of a row of wind chimes at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, captured so that the whole of the wind chimes can be seen.

This photo was taken at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine with an eye to composition so that the entire view of the wind chimes, which continue to the back of the building in a solid row, can be seen. The wind-bell corridor at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine is a place where visitors can enjoy a refreshing view unique to summer. Numerous wind chimes line the corridor, and the sound of them swaying in the wind echoes pleasantly in the silence. If you want to take pictures, try to capture the moment when the transparent wind chimes are illuminated by the light.
