Sometimes, more often if you're a talented photographer, you come across magic moments of incomparable beauty. Hopefully, that's when the shutter opens and the moment is captured on film.
Such a moment happened to Japanese photographer Koki Ueda (@fuehrsn) on December 8th, 2020.

Here are the magical photos he captured in the moments before dawn, and shared on his Twitter account:
