By Arnesia Young on March 3, 2021 There are few things more enchanting than the sight of a tiny firefly, lighting up the night sky with its luminescent glow. Imagine that multiplied by hundreds and thousands, and the effect is almost overwhelming. At the height of hotaru (firefly) season in Japan—around June and July—the rare opportunity to experience such an incredible spectacle is proffered to the lucky wanderer. Daniel Kordan, a Russian landscape photographer who has long been fascinated by the beauty of nature, had the rare opportunity to see the breathtaking performance for himself. And even better than that, he managed to capture the mystical beauty of the display and transmit its awe-inspiring nature in spectacular photographic detail.
