This photo was taken on a stepladder. The image gives the feeling of countless sunflowers watching the sunrise. Akebonoyama Agricultural Park, located in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, is a popular tourist spot where visitors can enjoy beautiful seasonal flowers. The expansive grounds are filled with different flowers each season, giving the park a different look each time you visit. In spring, tulips and windmills collaborate all over the park, sunflower fields dominate the park in summer, cosmos bloom in fall, and rape blossoms brighten the park in winter. In particular, sunflowers in summer, along with the windmills, are one of the representative landscapes of Akebonoyama Agricultural Park, and when they are at their best, the whole area shines like a yellow carpet. Especially, if you visit early in the morning, you can see the sunflower in the morning sun shining more beautifully in the light. The sight of sunflowers blooming toward the windmills is breathtaking, and the contrast with the blue sky makes for an enthralling view. There are few people around at this time of the day, making it a great shutterbug opportunity for those who love photography. By taking advantage of backlighting so that the petals are transparent, you will be able to enjoy a fantastic atmosphere. The park also has well-maintained trails that allow visitors to enjoy nature while taking a leisurely stroll through the flower fields.
