This photo was taken at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, where I consciously aimed to capture the fluttering of the talismans attached to the wind chimes in the breeze, while also creating a beautiful bokeh effect with the greenery in the background. The Wind Chime Corridor held at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine during the summer season draws significant attention. The translucent wind chimes and the tranquil sound echoing through the shrine grounds blend together, creating a fantastical atmosphere. Evening photography is also recommended, as it reveals a different expression from the brightness of daytime.
