Sumida Park
A row of cherry trees at dusk caught my eye, and I stopped at a particularly dark patch among them.
Looking more closely, countless pigeons perched on a black tree of twisted branches, with no flowers or leaves.
At first glance, it was a little bit like a horror scene.
Beneath my feet, fresh green shoots; above, a canopy of pink cherry blossoms; in the distance, the Skytree gleaming in the sunset—and so many pigeons.
Although the composition should have felt lively, the image took on an eerie quality, producing a strangely contrasting shot.
