Two overlapping ducks at Amabiki Kannon (Mt. Amabiki Rakuhoji Temple)

This photo was taken at Amebiki Kannon, where two ducks are lined up overlapping each other on a bed of blue and white hydrangeas. Located in a quiet mountainous area, Amabiki Kannon is a popular photo spot for photography enthusiasts when the hydrangea and underwater flowers are in full bloom. Animals such as goats, ducks, and white peacocks spend their natural time in the precincts of the temple, providing a beautiful scene where flowers and animals coexist.
