This photograph was taken with careful composition to create a sense of depth: the hydrangeas in the foreground are enlarged, while the circular window in the background is blurred. Meigetsu-in Temple in Kamakura is a famous spot where the beauty of seasonal flowers and architecture harmonize. During early summer when the hydrangeas bloom, you encounter new scenery with every step along the approach path.In the background lies a charming iris garden, and the view of the garden framed by the round window offers a quiet, moving experience.
