Amidst the crisp autumn skies of early October, the tranquil waters of Hayama’s Morito Beach reveal a distant, faint silhouette of Mount Fuji. The iconic white Hayama Lighthouse and the vibrant red torii gate stand as symbols against the serene backdrop, capturing the essence of this coastal gem.
Photo Description – A Gentle Embrace of Nature
The photograph paints a serene picture of Hayama’s Morito Beach. The distant, misty outline of Mount Fuji contrasts beautifully with the clear blue waters of the sea. The white Hayama Lighthouse and the striking red torii gate, symbols of this coastal town, add character to the scene. In the foreground, a lone individual on a canoe seems to be lost in the mesmerizing view of Fuji from atop the waters.
Story Behind the Photo – Rediscovering a Cherished View
Summer’s bustling crowds that throng the beach give way to the calm of October. The beach, once filled with swimmers, now witnesses a few souls indulging in marine sports and leisurely strolls, reclaiming its tranquility. This landscape is one of the views I cherish and feel close to in my heart. Occasionally, I enjoy a drive of about an hour from my home to this coast, engage in some fishing, and find solace in the distant view of Mount Fuji. It’s become a rejuvenating routine for me.
From an Amateur Photographer’s Perspective – Capturing Nostalgia
This shot, taken with an old lens, exudes a slightly yellow-tinted blue, distinct from photos taken with modern lenses. The softness in the image, devoid of sharpness, resonates more with the Hayama seascape I’ve always felt connected to. This lens, in its unique way, has captured the essence of my personal connection to this seascape.
