The rose garden of Nagai Botanical Garden.
For me, this was the second fine day and ideal day for photography at Nagai Botanical Garden’s rose garden this year.
And this day will probably be my final day of photographing Nagai Botanical Garden’s rose garden this season.
The photographs I took on this day were magnificent.
They were photographs in which my thoughts, my love, and my life appeared.
So I selected photographs from this day and created this work with the third movement of Brahms’s Symphony No. 3, 5 minutes and 56 seconds, performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Herbert von Karajan.
Every year, the rose season is a special time for me.
The rose garden of Nagai Botanical Garden is also one of those precious places.
On a fine day, there is a moment when the colors of the roses, the light, and the air all come together.
I am sincerely grateful to all those involved with the botanical garden, who make such magnificent roses bloom every year.
The memory of a fine day at Nagai Botanical Garden’s rose garden.
I placed those photographs together with the deep and beautiful sound of the third movement of Brahms’s Symphony No. 3.
