Taken with a mobile phone at Okayama Korakuen. Enlargement is recommended. Nature's colors were beautiful, and the moss on the stones and the color of the lawn over the pond were exactly the colors of winter. It is one of my favorite pieces where you can feel the sunset in the cold air as if illuminating your cheeks

[30 consecutive kite flying challenge] Friday, January 24 A challenge was held to pray for 30 years of zero traffic accident deaths. As many as 30 kites were hand-drawn by elementary school students in Nishiokoppe Village one by one. On that day, the weather was yellowtail snowy for the first time in a long time. When it was time to fly the kite, the snow stopped and a moderate wind blew. Elementary school students with kites line up in one row. If you let go of your hands from one end to the other, Gari took to the sky amid cheers on several attempts. Once in the wind, the kite shows no sign of returning to the ground. It was swaying in the wind (the tip was very vigorous). #Nishiokoppe Village #Hokkaido #30 consecutive kite flying #Prayer #Road Safety #Drone-obsessed dwarfs #Challenge Great Success

It is a five-story pagoda located on Mount Haguro, Yamagata Prefecture. The towers towering over the snowy scenery all around are a piece that closes the winter scenery.

Shot at a rare time when it snowed in the local area. I felt that the harmony of Autumn leaves and snow was very beautiful.
