My First Onomichi Series: Day 6/6
By the Onomichi shore, lamps stand tall,
A bridge in view, life’s daily call.
Gray skies loom, but spirits don’t wane,
In June’s embrace, life’s refrain.
Photo Description – Onomichi Ohashi View
This photo captures the view of Onomichi Ohashi Bridge from the waterfront in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture. Street lamps line the quay, and the boat docks evoke a sense of daily life in this port town. The bridge stands prominently in the background, connecting the landscape with a mix of industrial and residential buildings along the waterway. The overcast sky and muted colors create a tranquil yet poignant scene typical of the rainy season in June.
Story Behind the Photo – Waterfront Walk
This image was taken from the waterfront, on the way to Onomichi Station, with the Onomichi Ohashi Bridge in the background. The street lamps and boat docks highlight the daily activities and lifestyle of Onomichi’s residents. Captured during the rainy season in June, the photo reflects the typical gray tones of the period. Although there was no rain that day, the absence of blue skies lent a serene, moody atmosphere to the scene, perfectly embodying the season.
From an Amateur Photographer’s Perspective – Seasonal Reflections
On a mid-June afternoon, I walked along the waterfront towards Onomichi Station, with the Onomichi Ohashi Bridge in sight. The scene, marked by street lamps and boat docks, depicted the daily life of this port town’s residents. Despite the lack of rain, the overcast sky provided a unique, gray-toned backdrop that highlighted the season’s character. Capturing this moment, I felt a connection to the town’s rhythm, seeing beauty in the simplicity of everyday life during the rainy season.
