Winter Wonder

A lush tree turned silver with snow catches a wondering eye in Saga, the Japanese prefecture best known for the fine pottery produced there. Your Shot member Hideki Mizuta says that this photo captured a moment when a usually “green” region “turned into a snow world.” This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
