This photo was taken at the Ishikawa Rest Area (southbound) on the Chuo Expressway, capturing the sky and mountains as they began to grow faintly lighter while the night’s atmosphere still lingered. I took this shot of the scenery visible from the Ishikawa Rest Area on the Chuo Expressway, mindful of the quiet of the early morning and the gradual changes in the sky as dawn broke.
