A photo capturing the height and expanse of wind chimes neatly arranged against the sky at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine

This photo was taken at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, looking up at wind chimes arranged neatly against the sky to emphasize the impression of height and expanse. One sight not to be missed at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine in summer is the fantastical view of the wind chime corridor. The lined-up wind chimes reflect sunlight and sway in the breeze, producing gentle sounds. The interplay of light and sound creates a beautiful scene. Early morning or evening photography is also recommended.
