A snowy evening at Tokyo's Honmon-ji Temple. Pedestrians carrying bamboo umbrellas over their heads walk up a track cleared in the snow by earlier foot traffic. On the left, a tall Japanese pine tree, its branches heavy with snow, stands near a wall running parallel to the path; up ahead, a temple gate opens on a series of wide stone steps, leading up toward the temple grounds. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the winter gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

On the left, a tall Japanese pine tree, its branches heavy with snow, grows by a wall running parallel to the path; up ahead, a small gate opens into the temple grounds. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the evening gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.
