Photographing green rice paddies and towering summer cumulus clouds stretching across the sky in Nagano Prefecture

This photo was taken in Nagano Prefecture and captures a rice paddy with towering cumulonimbus clouds looming overhead. By framing the green rural landscape alongside the summery cumulonimbus clouds stretching across the sky, I sought to convey the sense of openness found in the summer scenery of Nagano Prefecture.
