This photo was taken early morning along the Arakawa riverbank, framing the Kōkon Bridge as if peeking through the trees. The soft morning light and stillness accentuate the bridge's presence. If you wish to capture the dawn glow with your camera, why not visit the Arakawa riverbank? Before the city awakens, during that time when the sky slowly begins to change color—amidst the open riverside scenery, you can quietly feel that transition. The unobstructed view allows you to fully appreciate the gradient of colors spreading across the eastern sky. The sky's hues, shifting from orange to pink and then to a soft blue, resemble a work of art painted by nature each morning. The river's surface reflecting the sky's colors, the shadows of grass swaying in the breeze, and if you're lucky, the silhouettes of passing trains or bridges, all gently add a story to the morning scene.
