The farm road taking a walk every day was refreshing and the morning dew was falling today.
When I noticed it, I felt that the leaves of the taro were growing. Autumn is getting deeper.

Nagatsutadai Agricultural Area

It is a work that catches your eye with the whole being wrapped in dazzling light. The pampas grass in the foreground also becomes a part of the glow, and the eyes gather on the leaves beyond it. I think the reason why the taro leaves get wet in the morning dew and feel divine is because the photographer looks at this scenery in everyday life with a lovely gaze. (Mr. Hideo Mori)

In the evening of a sunny autumn day, a beautiful sunset illuminated the city and the torii gate.
There was a field in the foreground, and the greenhouse was dyed light red, creating a beautiful landscape.

Mount Takao

The presence of the torii gate clearly floating in the beautiful sunset sky is impressive. The shadow of the details of the torii gate, which was lit by the sunset, enhances nostalgia. It feels like the lights of buildings and towns under construction in the distance represent the old and new of the city. (Mr. Hideo Mori)
