Alongside the Karikawa River there is a promenade stretch for about 700 meters on both sides of the river.
The one is called “Harukimichi” and the other is “Shiawase-michi”.

A promenade on the east side of the river (where a man is sitting) is Shiawase-Michi.

Lined cherry trees on opposite side of the river is Haruki-Michi.

It is a famous spot for Harumeki-Zakura(early flowering cherry trees) viewing in the mid of March.
171 sakura trees line up along the promenades.

I found a photo spot where the contrast of pink and yellow was beautiful.But a concrete building and iron tower in the background weren’t photogenic.
So I tried to hide them by the flowers as much as possible.

Harumeki-Zakura was made in the farm of Minami-Ashigara City.

You can see the top of Mount Fuji on the left from Shiawase-michi.
I took this picture with 3 times zoom by iPhone7 Plus.

This place in the red circle where the field mustard are flowering is good photo spot.
I take pictures at here with sitting on the ground,

I took this photo with 2 times zoom by iPhone7 Plus.
I considered the composition based on the grid lines when I took this picture.
(Settings → Photos & Camera → Grid)
I Put the cherry trees and building on intersection points(red and green circle) as the lead.
To put the thing you focus on the intersection points is a basic of good composition.
And I tried to put the top of Mount Fuji on the left near another intersection point at bottom left(yellow circle).
