Through the mountains and rice field, snow makes everything even more beautiful.  The mountains seem so peaceful with snow.

Finally a manual camera, I love taking pictures in low light, and picked up a Sony M, the reviews were all terrible, but I couldn't resist the price.  First walk out in the snow through the neighbourhood temple garden.
