Azalea flowers seen through the blue maples at Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone)

This photograph was taken at the Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone), where azalea flowers can be seen from under the blue maple leaves. By layering the fresh green azaleas with the brightly colored azaleas, we were able to express the early summer colors unique to Hakone's gardens.
