熊本の「山吹水源」という場所で撮影しました。 訪れたのは17時半頃。 時間が遅かったこともあり、周囲には誰もおらず、聞こえてくるのは風に揺れる木々の音と鳥の鳴き声だけでした。 ちょうど西日が木の根元を照らし、その姿が水面に静かに映っていました。 その光景があまりにも神秘的で、「もののけ姫」の世界に迷い込んだような、コダマやシシ神がどこかにいるような感覚になったことを覚えています。 一方で、時間が経つにつれて少しずつ暗くなり、静けさが心地よさから怖さへ変わっていくのも感じました。 神秘さや少しの怖さまで含めて、そのときの空気ごと残したくてシャッターを切った一枚です。 これからも、そこで感じた空気や、ふと心が動いた瞬間を写真に残していきたいです。
