Midnight at Senso-ji: Ancient Serenity Under Starlit Skies and the Hidden Side of Kaminarimon Gate

On the night of August 14th, 2025, at 11:30 PM, as Tokyo’s evening deepened, I stepped into a completely different Senso-ji from its daytime self. The Kaminarimon Gate and Kobunacho had already turned off their lights, but the clear night sky remained bright enough for me to capture this rare tranquility with my wide-aperture lens. […]

Summer Twilight by the Sumida River – A Quiet Evening with Wild Birds

On the afternoon of August 15, 2025, I walked along the west bank of the Sumida River from Azuma Bridge to Sumida Park. During this photography journey from sunset to nightfall, I encountered a gentle, fearless seagull and an elegant heron resting by the pond. As darkness fell, the pond water reflected the shore lights, creating a dreamlike scene with the heron standing on a stone. The soft glow of Tokyo Skytree, reflections of boat-shaped lamps, and colorful lights of yakatabune boats together wove the most beautiful memories of this summer twilight.

Faith Carved in Stone and Light – An Afternoon at Lukang Longshan Temple

I visited Lukang Longshan Temple on an afternoon in June 2025, capturing the play of light and shadow across this historic site. From the Qing Dynasty stone lions at the main gate and eighteen arhats, to the dragon pillars inscribed with “Second year of Xianfeng,” and the expressive Eight Immortals sculptures above the five-gate hall, every detail showed remarkable craftsmanship. Surrounded by rising incense smoke, I felt the devotion of worshippers and tried to capture through my lens the moments where traditional architecture and faith culture meet.

When Blue Hour Meets the Little Prince – An Unexpected Gift at Busan Songdo Sky Park

On the evening of June 4th, 2025, I experienced a surprising photography journey at Busan Songdo Sky Park. Though I arrived late and missed the full sunset, I still captured beautiful sunset silhouettes – the orange-red sun framed between tree leaves. Meeting relaxed cats at the Yonggung Sky Walk entrance healed my disappointment. When I returned to the cable car station rooftop and waited longer, I witnessed my first blue hour – the sky painted with layers of blue-purple and orange-pink colors. Even more surprising was finding the Little Prince art installation on the rooftop. The yellow silhouette against the dreamy sky created a more magical scene than any sunset. This experience taught me: sometimes behind what we lose, there’s often a more beautiful surprise waiting.

On May 29, 2025, after leaving Dongseongno, I visited Gyesan Cathedral and March 1st Movement Road in Daegu. The weather was perfect that day, with gentle sunshine falling on this land full of historical meaning. Though Gyesan Cathedral is not very large, it has a beautiful European-style pointed tower design. The statue of Christ at
