18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Beauty Of Heaven

"Yamagata February, the winter was approaching the end in the flatland. I was aiming for the summit of \"Mt.zao\" from the night. There is a beautiful crater lake which is still active as a volcano, called \"Goshikinuma\", and in the summer it is a beautiful lake of emerald green. It was covered with strong wind and fog, but it showed its appearance in a momentary fine weather. I was impressed by the beautiful world that forgets the strong wind and the cold."
