This photo was taken at Nezu Shrine, where I felt drawn to the purple azaleas.

This photograph focuses on the purple azaleas, softly blurring the background to emphasize the flowers' presence. At Nezu Shrine in spring, azaleas brighten the grounds with their vibrant blooms. The azalea hill, spreading across a gentle slope, offers a splendid view whether gazed upon from above or looked up at from below. The beautiful contrast with the red torii gates and the shrine buildings' roofs allows visitors to fully enjoy the spring atmosphere.
