Nature nominee

Islet in Amaharashi coast. This is one of the most scenic seascapes in Japan and its beauty has been versified in the Manyoshu by the poet Otomo no Yakamochi. I took this shot in winter 2014: in that cold and cloudy morning the strong light of the sunrise pierced the dense grey sky and revealed the beauty of the Tateyama mountains in the distance; the islet with the bare pine tree stands lonely near the shoreline of the sea of Japan and a Japanese Heron (Sagi) contemplates the stillness of this peaceful winter morning.

Photographer and Designer, traveler and seeker of world's wonders.
