In early summer, Across Mountain in Tenjin, Fukuoka

Photo taken on June 21, 2024

In the heart of Fukuoka City, the capital of Kyushu Island in Japan, there lies a mysterious mountain commonly known as "Across Mountain"
Its "mountain face"

The true identity of this green-clad mountain is the complex facility "ACROS Fukuoka," which features a large hall
The southern slope is a quiet green space known as the "Step Garden"
When the building was constructed, it was possible to enjoy a garden filled with greenery all the way to the rooftop, but upon my recent visit, it has now transformed into a splendid forest-covered low mountain

This photograph is part of an initiative to showcase landscapes that have received the Urban Landscape Award from Fukuoka City, specifically selected for the "10th Landscape Award Photo Contest"
During the award ceremony, I was humbled to receive generous remarks from the representative judge in the hall of the city museum, saying, "The composition is perfect."
