Shadows on the frozen pond: Engaku-ji
In the morning chill, the trees cast their intertwined shadows on the thin ice which covers the quiet surface of the pond.
The steel-blue sunlight of winter shines through the branches and reveals the essence of this cold season on the frozen water.
Decaying leaves: Engaku-ji
On the chilly ground, the magenta fallen leaves are decaying gradually into dust.
In a little while when spring arrives, this whole area becomes a sea of fresh green plants.
A moss-covered stone stands still here in the swift passage of time.
Ripples on the pond: Engaku-ji
The gentle winter breeze silently rippled the surface of the pond to cast a momentary pattern of reflection on it.
Wintry trees: Engaku-ji
Under the gray winter sky, a web of twigs is at deep rest.
Soon tree buds will come out unnoticeably to prepare for the coming of spring.
Small waves: Kaizo-ji
The sapphire blue of the cold sky is mirrored on the ceaselessly undulating surface of the small pond.
A black kite wheels in the air: Yuigahama-beach (Kamakura)
The winter sun gleams above the drifting white clouds.
A black kite is slowly wheeling high in the pale blue sky.
A view of Mt.Fuji from Chojyagasaki cape (Hayama)
Thanks to the transparent cold air, the magnificent form of Mt. Fuji clearly appeared above the calm winter sea.

Mt.Fuji in twilight: Inamuragasaki (Kamakura)
In the freezing cold air, the winter sun is slowly sinking below the horizon.
The evening glow is gradually tinging the chilly sky with a mellow amber color.
The bold outline of Mt.Fuji appears against the twilight sky to let us know the crystal clearness of the wintry atmosphere.
