The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and fresh snow was falling. I left Hamamatsu, but the clouds cleared for about 10 minutes. After that, Mt. Fuji was hidden by the clouds.

Comment
The approach to Taisekiji Temple is beautiful with its weeping cherry blossoms. At night, the lanterns are lit. The lit weeping cherry blossoms take on an exotic atmosphere that is different from daytime, transforming the approach into a quaint one. Please come and see for yourself.

Comment
Heavy snow fell in the Shiraito area, so I went to Fujizakura Natural Cemetery Park in Kamiide ​​to take pictures of the snowy scenery. There was so much snow on the ground that no black spots could be seen, and snow was even seen on the stones and trees, creating the very image of a snowy country. I was surprised to see such a view in Fujinomiya City.

Cut in half!
Winner

residence

Comment
Diamond Fuji can be seen at Lake Tanuki in April and August, but this photo was taken in August. It was a clear day with little wind, and Fuji was reflected upside down on the lake's surface. The light beam of Diamond Fuji is usually expressed clearly and "crisply", but for this photo I deliberately tried to express it "blurred". By doing so, I was able to split the image in half in a straight line from the peak of Mount Fuji to the upside-down Fuji reflected on the lake's surface.

Every winter, the bushy chrysanthemums bloom in the Shimojo area of ​​Fujinomiya City. They are shaped like Mt. Fuji, so it was fun to see them together with the real thing.
