White peacock posing at Amabiki Kannon (Mt. Amabiki Rakuhoji Temple)

This photograph was taken at the Amebiki Kannon, where a pure white peacock seems to be posing with its wings slightly spread. Mist, light, flowers, water, and animals - it is rare to find a place where so many elements coexist so naturally. The area around the pond at Amebiki Kannon changes dramatically with the time of day, making it possible to capture a completely different impression in the morning than in the evening.
