Winter fireworks for the whole family

WinnerKatsuya Suzuki

residenceYokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture

Comment: I heard that we could see Mount Fuji and winter fireworks together, so I invited my family to Lake Tanuki. It was a cold night, even though we were well dressed, but I think the beauty of the fireworks was enough to resonate with my two sons, ages 0 and 2.

Comment: In early December, a rainbow appeared from the Otodome Falls Observation Deck, with the autumn leaves and the snow-capped Mount Fuji against the blue sky.

Moonlight Camping

Winner's account nameyuya.szok

Comment: On this day, I was photographing fireworks at the Lake Tanuki Festival. After finishing photographing the fireworks, I was walking back through the campsite and happened to look back. The moon, Mount Fuji reflected in the moonlight, and the lit tents were so beautiful that I couldn't help but take a picture. This is the photo I took with that feeling in mind.
