tazawako mountains and clouds

"Heaven," in a word. Such a quintessentially "Japanese" feel to the layers and layers of mountains near Lake Tazawa in southern Akita prefecture, which is in the northern Tohoku region.

Always my favorite kind of view of mountains. I love the layers- be they blue like these or green as they are in VT. or brown in the Rockies. fav

@olivetreeann thanks Ann, I need to find your VT mountains in your album to compare! Living near Chicago they are not an option.

This is brilliant, Michael. I do wish I were there! The layers and the soft blues work so well. It captures an iconic image from Japan.

Instant fav. Love the graduated tones

[April]

Gorgeous layers!

[Junko Y]

FAV -- absolutely gorgeous capture and processing. Your height was a definite advantage in this photo over mine (plus your photography skills!). Mine doesn't show nearly the number of layers on the right side. WAs this the one taken from on top of the roof???

[Michael Van Krey]

Beautiful! Magnificent how you were able to capture the different shades of blue!

[Emiko]

Beautiful capture! The image reminds me the Blue Ridge Mountain in North Carolina.
