At dusk, the midsummer sun gradually diminishes its brilliance and begins to tilt into the western sky. The sunflower fields in Kasai Rinkai Park were enveloped in a tranquility that induced township, different from the lively daytime. The sunflowers spread all over the place, shining their faces as if they were sparing the last rays of the sun. At that Time Slot / Time of Day, I was crazy about taking the shutter. In that place where many many sunflowers are in bloom, this one sunflower caught my eye. Illuminated by the setting sun, the gradation of light and shadow woven by the petals was like a painting. I deliberately cut out the brightly colored sunflowers in monochrome because I wanted to take a break from the hustle and bustle of color and express the universal beauty of form created by the soft light of dusk and the vitality of looking powerfully at the end of the day. Because it is a world of black and white, the delicate texture of the petals, the powerful stems that stand out in the shadows, and the center that shines in the western sun stand out. It was as if this sunflower was telling us, "Be yourself and shine in any situation." This piece is more than just a summer scene. I took this photo in the hope that it would give hope to the viewer's heart and be deeply engraved in their hearts as an unforgettable memory of the passing summer twilight.

Photographed at the Flower Culture Garden. I was fascinated by the contrast between the yellow of the sunflower and the green of the praying mantis. Two shots of insects and flowers that have become difficult to see in modern times. I envy you when you think that it used to be full of such scenes.

Summer has arrived 🌻 Last week Gokasecho saw many rainy and cloudy days, but this week the weather has been pure summer ✨ with the sun dazzling every day 😎 I drove out to Shirataki to look for a bit of cool air 🚗 Just watching the water fall from a drop of about 20 meters felt refreshing 😊 Along the way there was a sunflower field in full bloom 🌻 It was a spot I’d never known about before, so I felt like I’d discovered a great treat 🎵 People often picture Miyazaki Prefecture as hot, but Gokasecho sits surrounded by high mountains ⛰ Because of that, average summer temperatures are a few degrees lower than other parts of the prefecture, and mornings and evenings can be chilly enough to need a light blanket.
