Snowy Landscape, Japan

This Month in Photo of the Day: Your Shots

Landscapes become like paintings occasionally. Taken at Lake Ikari, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.

What Makes This a Photo of the Day? It is precisely the painterly quality of this photograph that attracted me. The trees and melting snow are like brushstrokes. Lovely. —Alexa Keefe, Photo of the Day editor
