A shot capturing the beams of light filtering through the forest. The time is noted as early morning. The combination of morning mist and the enchanting atmosphere makes it feel like a wonderful escape to be able to immerse oneself in such beautiful nature right after waking up.

A shot of a woman standing by the water. Is it a lake somewhere? The refreshing wind and warm sunlight make you want to close your eyes and lie down. It made us realize that somewhere, we are seeking quality rest.

A shot of Mt. Fuji and the pedestrian bridge leading to it. As the caption suggests, this is likely the first view for people eager to start their climb up Mt. Fuji. The perspective-enhanced composition adds to the forward-leaning feeling.

A shot of Western-style architecture and the sea visible from it. Is it a view from some inn? The contrast between the splendid architecture and the calm sea and mountain scenery evokes the excitement of travel. Whether relaxing in a cool room or stepping outside to enjoy the sea breeze, it seems like a perfect day of escape.

A shot of a field of pampas grass and the trees growing there. Is it a parallax effect? It looks as if the trees are swaying entirely. Just running out into an empty field, feeling the earth beneath your feet, and sensing the warmth of the wind and sun on your skin. Such an escape can help us reaffirm that we are sustained by Mother Earth.

A shot of rows of golden Buddha statues. In a serene temple, one might engage in self-dialogue or think of someone far away. Delving deeper into one's inner self might also be considered a form of escape.
