A view looking out over the Hida mountains on a bright day in Nagano, Japan. Slowly melting snow is retreating between ridges on rugged mountain terrain; bare earth, green grass and dark rock are showing through the snow. The sky above is blue, the horizon populated by stacks of tall white clouds.

An overcast winter's day in the Japanese Alps. Tall, leafless trees stand at the edge of Taisho Pond, their trunks plastered with snow; the bases of some trees are submerged beneath the water. Beyond, the shadows of more trees and the jagged Hida Mountains present a dramatic horizon. A layer of snow covers the ground, and more snow falls in waves driven across the pond by the wind.

A view of the Kurobe River on a bright summer day. Clear blue water rushes over and around scattered rocks as the river passes through Kurobe Gorge; on either side, green trees crowd close together down the steep slopes of the ravine, stopping at the stony riverbank. Up ahead, bright sunlight illuminates the wall of the gorge, but in the foreground, the angle of the sun and the high walls of the gorge keep the river in cool shadow.

Kamikochi is a valley in the Hida Mountain range. It is part of the Japanese Alps. The image shows the river flowing through the valley with trees just coming into leaf on the valley floor and snow covered mountains behind.
