In Japan

In the quiet heart of a Japanese forest, autumn unfolds in a breathtaking display of color and calm. A majestic maple, its leaves a vibrant crimson, dominates the frame, its gnarled branches stretching over a tranquil, fog-draped river. The air hums with the stillness of early morning, as light filters through the canopy, illuminating the fallen leaves that blanket the ground like a tapestry. A small red pin, almost whimsical in its placement, draws the eye to a point of quiet contemplation—perhaps a memory, a marker, or simply an invitation to pause. This is not just a landscape; it’s a moment suspended in time, where nature’s artistry meets human curiosity. Photographer Daniil Korzhonov captures the essence of Japan’s seasonal poetry with poetic precision and emotional depth.
