7/3(Wed)
This time, I posted ?✨ the cool "Gion Set" of Gion Shrine and Gion's large Cypress trees
First of all, I saw ⛩? the Kaya no Rinokuguri at Gion Shrine
With the exorcism of Xia Yue as a symbol, we pray for ?✨ the dissipation of plagues and disease-free disasters by passing through the circle of thatch
I could hear the chorus of cicadas in the Precincts, and dragonflies were already flying around the surrounding rice fields, so it was ? a summer atmosphere
Suddenly, the Ume Plum rain is over, and the strong sunlight and hot and humid weather seem to make you tired, but the scenery unique to summer is also wonderful ??
Next, I went ?✨ to see the large Cypress trees in Gion
Around the large Cypress trees, the background music of small birds chirping and the sunlight shining through the trees are pleasant, and summer is still to come... It was ?? a climate like that
In such a situation, the large Cypress trees stood quietly and mysteriously ✨
During the shooting, I found a chubby shadow around the waist of a large Cypress trees ... When I looked at it from a distance, I was surprised to think that it was a beehive, but it seems that ? a bump has formed
While I was relieved that it was not a beehive, I was a little worried ? about the physical condition of the large Cypress trees
Anyway, I wanted to somehow convey the mystery and power of Cypress trees, so I did my best to shoot while rubbing my face on the ground ... To shoot with a normal lens, there was a limit to my technique ands ?...
Everyone is busy every day and is worried about summer heat and heat stroke, but why not cool off in the Nature once in a while and get some power How do you like it? ?✨
