The 2025 Cherry Blossom Photography Contest, co-organized by the School of Mathematics and Statistics and the School of Information Management at 吃瓜网 (WHU), has come to a close. The event captured the poetic essence of spring on campus, weaving unforgettable memories for WHU students through the interplay of light and shadow.
From the first misty blooms of March to the final flutter of petals in April, students from both schools explored the paths of Luojia Mountain, capturing breathtaking moments of cherry blossom season. Whether aiming their lenses skyward at canopies of pink or downward at petals scattered along ancient stone paths, they documented everything – from foggy morning silhouettes to the quiet magic of blossoms under the night sky.
Nineteen outstanding photos were selected to showcase the beauty of spring through their unique perspectives. Let's take a moment to enjoy some of the best works:

Cherry blossoms may be fleeting, but these captured moments will linger. As petals fall and return to the earth, the stories told through each image remain vivid – testaments to WHU students' passion for life and eye for beauty. When the blossoms return next spring, let us gather once more beneath the trees, cameras in hand, ready to frame the next chapter of spring in light and shadow.
