Japanese Photographer Captures Breathtaking Shots of Shrine in A Swirling Sea of Fireflies

Early summer is the season for fireflies in Japan. The sight of fireflies floating in the air with their soft lights in the dark is just so magical.

Japanese photographer Usadadanuki took a few photos of the dreamy sight of fireflies in 2020, and posted them on twitter recently. These photos are so beautiful they will leave you in awe.

“Genji and Princess fireflies dance around in the shrine. In the pitch dark precincts of the shrine, these fireflies looked like a flowing river of lights.”
