In this photo, I tried to capture the beautiful rows of metasequoia trees in beautiful alignment with beautiful clouds in the reflection. Located in Saitama Prefecture, Bessho-numa Park is a quiet, nature-rich recreation area that is well known to local residents. One of the most notable features of the park is the pond in the center of the park and the beautiful rows of metasequoia trees that surround it. This row of trees is known as a work of nature's art, with a different expression for each season: lush green foliage in spring and summer, and bright reddish-brown foliage in autumn. What adds to the charm of the area is the sight of "reflections" on the surface of the pond. The surface of the water, which is as still as a mirror, reflects the rows of metasequoia trees, creating a scene that is a mixture of reality and fantasy. When photographing, aim for early mornings or days with calm winds, when the water surface is less shimmering, to enjoy more vivid and beautiful reflections. The park also has a walking path around the pond, which allows visitors to enjoy the view of the trees and pond from different angles as they walk around. In particular, when walking through the tree-lined area, visitors can enjoy a tunnel of green and red leaves overhead and the reflection of the pond at the same time, providing visitors with a pleasant moment of tranquility and healing. In addition to the metasequoia trees, the pond is surrounded by a variety of other trees, each of which adds its own seasonal beauty, offering different scenery throughout the year.
