This photograph was taken at Shinobazu Pond, superimposing the straight lotus flowers and the historic Benten-do Hall. The orderly beauty of the landscape and the flowers is such that it quietly regulates the mind. If you want to take summery photos in Ueno, lotus flowers at Shinobazuno Pond are definitely a good choice. Especially early in the morning, the pond is filled with lotus blossoms that seem to float quietly, their pale pink color illuminated by the morning light, creating a magical world. The sunlight softly shining on the flowers as they are about to open enhances their expressions and creates a memorable cut. Furthermore, in a corner of the pond, there is a wind chime display that appears only in summer. The sound of the wind chimes echoing in the breeze adds color to the serenity and coolness from both visual and auditory perspectives. The vermilion-lacquered Benten Hall, lotus flowers, and the translucent wind chimes add to the charm of the place, making the photos look like summer scene paintings. You can use a telephoto lens to highlight the beauty of the lotus, or a wide-angle lens to capture the entire landscape in a well-balanced manner. Shinobazuno Pond is a photo spot filled with scenery that can only be encountered in Ueno in summer.
