This photograph expresses the contrast between light and shadow by blurring the azaleas in the foreground into a ball of color and light, while capturing the buildings behind in a darker tone. Spring at Shiofune Kannon Temple brings azaleas blooming so profusely they fill the temple grounds, creating a scene that feels like being enveloped in a sea of flowers. The azaleas blooming in full around the Kannon Hall evoke a sense of beauty harmonized with nature.
