A refreshing summer shot of sunflowers and blue sky taken from the front looking up from below at the Minuma Tanbo sunflower field in Saitama Prefecture.

This photo was taken at a sunflower field in the Minuma rice paddies, looking up at the sunflowers and the sky from the lower front. The contrast between the large flowers and the blue sky creates a refreshing impression. Minuma-tambo (sunflower field) is a popular summer photo spot for photographers and tourists. The yellow carpet created by the sunflowers blooming all over the area is breathtaking, and when combined with the blue sky and buildings, it creates a wide variety of expressions. The wide range of photo opportunities, from looking up from below to using the cityscape as a backdrop, is another attraction of this area. This is a unique sunflower field where nature and the city are in harmony.
