This photograph captures the movement of wind chimes swaying lightly in the breeze at Shinobazu Pond. The depiction of their gentle swaying allows you to sense the presence of the wind within this silent image.On a midsummer morning, Shinobazu Pond, just awakening, whispers softly at your feet as you walk through Ueno. Lotus flowers bloom as if covering the pond, spreading faintly across the tranquil water surface, each one softly glowing as it catches the morning sun.As you focus intently, sensing the breath of flowers opening with the slightest time difference, and capture that moment of soft light and delicate expression, even the camera's shutter sound will resonate like a prayer. And in one corner of the pond, a display of cool wind chimes sways in the breeze, lending the visible landscape the contours of sound. The vermilion Benten Hall, the colors of the lotus, the transparent sound.When these three elements harmonize, seemingly by chance yet undeniably so, summer resides within your lens. You may choose to zoom in with a telephoto lens to capture the inner pulse of the flowers, or use a wide-angle lens to etch the memory alongside the vastness of the sky. The morning at Shinobazu Pond is not merely a landscape; it is the beginning of a story woven with all five senses.
