During this new year holiday, I visited the lovely Japanese Garden of Shougenji Temple to see it covered in snow. This temple is not known by tourists, so I was the only one who was taking photos. Some local visitors who came for a New Year's celebration stared at me curiously, which didn't make me hesitate to step deep into the garden. What awaited me there was an unexpected attack from above. A huge chunk of snow dropped on my head from a tree and I, as well as my camera, was drenched from head to toe! I was worried about my camera, but looking at the photos I took it's somehow still working. Bravo Nikon! For other photos of the temple in different season, please refer to the links below.
