If you go to Yutoku Inari Shrine in the summer It is decorated with many beautiful wind chimes. When you pass through the tower gate, a beautiful window chime with a low sound hangs. The stairs to the Main Shrine are decorated with many glass wind chimes with nostalgic sounds. As the window chimes of the tower gate begin to sound, the sound of many wind chimes reverberates all at once. When the wind blows, the sound of wind chimes drowns out the chirping of cicadas, and at the same time, the heat is drowned out. The sound that echoes in the Precincts calms your heart. When you are a little heartbroken, or when you are working very hard, tears may overflow. Yutoku Inari Shrine in summer, healed by wind chimes.

This is a low-angle night view photo taken from the front of Tokyo Tower. I took a long exposure of 20 seconds so that the lights and brake lights of the cars could leave a beautiful afterimage. The lens is Z14-30f/4S. Since it is a wide angle, I was able to see the whole thing even from directly under the tower.
