17th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ice monsters and Iridescent clouds

In Yamagata, the day after the storm, I climbed the mountain from midnight. In Mt.Zao, you can see a model called Snow monster due to strong wind and humidity. However, due to the storm of the previous day, that figure was lost, leaving about half. It was a morning when the sun shined into the fog and Iridescent clouds swirled.
