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.
He had set up his camera at a scenic vantage point on the 高ボッチ高原 Takabocchi Highlands, in the eastern part of Shiojiri City in Nagano Prefecture. The vista from this spot is quite famous, and has been used as the backdrop for anime before.
Here are the magical photos he captured in the moments before dawn, and shared on his Twitter account:

The Tweet, which has over 23,000 likes and over 4,400 retweets at the time of writing, elicited numerous plaudits such as:
