This photo was taken at the Nagamine Mountain Observation Deck, using a telephoto lens to capture the rice paddies spreading out below. By framing a section of the rice paddies from the high vantage point of the observation deck, I was able to vividly convey the beauty of the rural landscape’s patterns and layout.
