19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Snowfall in Yamadera

This image was captured during a winter hike to Risshakuji Temple (Yamadera). I took a train with a couple of my friends to Yamagata City, Japan. We hiked the path to this beautiful Buddhist temple. Then, we enjoyed fire-roasted sweet yams.
