At the Showa Memorial Park, fluffy kochia plants with bright red autumn foliage, with a large Himalayan cedar towering in the background

This photo was taken at the Showa Memorial Park, a national park, and features a combination of fluffy kochia with bright red autumn foliage and a Himalayan cedar towering in the background. By emphasizing the contrast between the cute, round kochia spreading out in the foreground and the shape and size of the large Himalayan cedar in the background, I sought to capture the unique and beautiful landscape of plants that fill the park in autumn.
