Photographer: Melissa Chasse, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Getting the Shot: Taken as I sat beneath the umbrella sipping tea in a temple garden in Kyoto in February of last year.
The Details: As I sat beneath this beautiful traditional Japanese paper umbrella sipping frothy matcha (green tea) and admiring the serene temple garden, I looked up to see a surprising spiral of color radiating from the bamboo spines, a breathtaking splash of color and patterns. I put down my tea, picked up my camera, and made this image.
We love the intricate patterns created by the strings and the slats of the umbrella. Want your own photos features on IT? Add them to our Flickr pool.
