This photograph captures the sparkling sunlight reflecting off wind chimes at Shinobazu Pond, consciously composed to convey depth. The three-dimensional composition expresses the coolness of the wind chimes and the atmosphere of summer.That morning in Ueno began quietly. Standing by Shinobazu Pond, it felt as if only one kind of time flowed. Lotus flowers bloomed across the entire pond surface. Bathed in the morning light, they seemed to float on the water, not just beautiful but somehow evoking a sense of transience. If you wake just a little earlier and find the light streaming into a bud just beginning to open, it could become a photograph that stays with you forever.Adding to this scene is the summer wind chime display set up in one corner of the pond. The sound they make as they sway and chime softly adds a tonal color to the view before your eyes. The vermilion of the Benten Hall, the gentle hues of the lotus, the transparency of the wind chimes—when these three overlap, an indescribable story comes to life within the frame. Wherever you frame it, summer is here.
