Doesn’t it look surreal? This is a view of Shirakawa lake in Yamagata Prefecture. Most times of the year, the lake is like any other. But, for just one month of the year, from mid-April, melted snow flows into the water and makes it look as if the forest itself is being submerged.
Thanks @nao_____ya for this breathtaking photo!
