Inside, Outside Temple
A rare temple in that it's pretty much open to the elements, one of my favourite in Yamagata. Outside can be seen in the photo below.

Iide Range
A rare clear day at the top of Mt. Zao. We could see all the mountains, this range was pretty spectacular. It's at times like these I wish I had my SLR with zoom lens. Oh well this is the best I could do with my compact camera. After all I was there to go snowboarding.

Old Derelict Barn
Beautiful old building, sitting quietly biding it's time in the snow. I would love to live in an old Japanese wooden farm house, to renovate it, bring it back to life, and make it warm again.

The Snow Dump
Where to put all that snow cleared from roads and rooves? Why, the snow dump, of course. We took four mini-truck loads to save our rickety old garage from possible collapse. Mountains of snow and trucks busy coming and going, dealing with all that frozen water obstructing the flow of the city.

Hatted Trees
They looked almost comical standing so tall and strong at the window wearing their hats of snow. Like sentries at the window of our yoga class, taken on the 4th Feb, a cold blizzardy morning, I was so impressed at those who made it out of their cozy homes to come practice.

Subtle Colours in a Winter Forest
Enjoyed the pastel shade on white, and even saw a white rabbit hopping through the forest, way too fast for me to get my camera.

Secret Garden
No one had been here, there was no path, the lake is buried under snow and the bamboo bending under the weight, such a peaceful temple garden.

Piles of Snow
Record amount of snow fell this morning, 88cm. Most in twenty years, even though it made my day incredibly hard and long, I couldn't stop myself grinning from ear to ear at all the white fluffy stuff. So we know what the next few posts will be of. I love snow!
