Japan is a beautiful country full of breathtaking buildings, landscapes, and scenery any time of year.
In the height of summer, however, something particularly magical happens.
Throughout the countryside, twinkling fireflies take to the evening skies in search of a mate.

This natural phenomenon creates a beautifully ethereal glow through trees and leaves that is nothing short of breathtaking.
Capturing the lights of the fireflies, however, can be extremely difficult.

Were in love with the glowing, almost unearthly images this firefly photography results in.
Talk about a romantic night!
