18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Sunrise at Daisen
The weather was going to get better, so I climbed Daisen in winter from midnight. However, I met a snowstorm at the 6th station and waited in the evacuation shed. After about an hour, I could see the stars, so I climbed again and reached the summit safely. There was a beautiful mountain ridge with snow and footprints erased.
