The Kadokawa Musashino Museum in Saitama, Japan, is a massive and striking rock-like structure composed of 20,000 stacked granite blocks. This photograph was captured on a rainy day, utilizing the soft, diffused light to highlight the sharp edges where the rock ridges converge, taken from a slightly elevated perspective. I captured the museum's immense scale by photographing a passerby with an umbrella within the frame.
