This photograph, taken at the Nakain Temple, evokes the quietude of a mimosa rendered in subdued tones.

This photograph was taken looking up at the tall mimosa tree towering within the temple grounds, using a slightly underexposed setting. The result is a striking image with a subdued atmosphere. Amidst the quiet flow of time within the temple precincts, the mimosa, bathed in spring light, begins to bloom softly. The yellow added to the historic setting gently colors the landscape, like a whisper of spring.
