22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
A dragon holding the sun

The Tottori Sand Dunes are covered in snow several times a year. There is a white plateau there. On this day, it snowed at night, and the afternoon was very clear. The few remaining clouds had iridescent clouds, which looked like dragons and looked as if they were holding the sun in their mouths.
