This photo was taken at Shinobazu Pond with the displayed wind chimes, blooming lotus flowers, and Benten-do in the background in one single angle of view. The trinity of these summer scenes is a picture full of seasonal beauty. Shinobazu Pond in Ueno is an ideal spot for summer photography, especially in the early morning hours when the pond is filled with lotus flowers and their pale pink petals quietly color the surface of the water as it is bathed in the morning sun. Capturing the moment when the morning light meets the lotus blossoms will create a soft and magical photograph. In addition, there is a limited-time wind chime display set up in a part of the pond, which makes a cool sound every time the wind blows, creating a summery atmosphere. The vermilion color of the Bentendo and the lotus coloring, combined with the presence of the transparent wind chimes, give depth and a Japanese sentiment to the photos. Both telephoto compositions, which capture the expression of the flowers, and wide-angle compositions, which encompass the landscape, have their own merits and appeal that will make you want to take pictures again and again. Shinobazunoike Pond, where light, sound, and color are in harmony, is a must-visit place to experience summer in Tokyo.
