A misty morning in Nara Park. Three deer forage in the foreground; beyond them, another pair of deer pass under tall trees. Further on, the shape of the five-story pagoda at Kofuku-ji rises above the treetops; above, the early morning sky is tinted a soft rose with the approaching dawn. The deer, the trees and the temple are all rendered in shadowy blue silhouettes.
