This photo captures both the sunflower field and the stage set up beyond it at the Akeno Sunflower Festival. It truly conveys the event's atmosphere. Sunflowers are flowers that bloom facing the sun. That's precisely why they attract people as the flower symbolizing summer. At the Akeno Sunflower Festival, you can see them spread out before you. The yellow carpet overlapping with the distant mountain range is not just something to look at, but a “scenery to experience.”Time flows by, making it impossible to stop reaching for the camera.
