I took a photo of the lush green kochia growing beautifully in Higashi-Takahashi against a clear blue sky.

This photo was taken at Higashi-Takahashi and captures the lush green kochia plants against the blue sky stretching out above them. I composed the shot to combine the vibrant green kochia with the clear blue sky, aiming to convey the refreshing and bright scenery unique to summer.
