Harmony of Elements
Kyoto Imperial Palace - Kyoto, Japan
Photography in Kyoto presented challenges, with changing weather and light. After a day of harsh shadows, the second day offered softer light before the rain. This image captures the moment where a Japanese lantern is entwined by the gnarled branches and pine needles of a venerable pine tree. Amidst the branches and greenery, the lantern becomes one with nature, embodying the delicate balance and interconnectedness of elements found in Kyoto's serene landscapes.
