Kagami Daira nature

Kagami Daira (Mirror Flats) is an unusual and beautiful collection of small ponds on the slope of a mountain ridge in Japan's Kita Alps. Views of some spectacular mountains can be had from here; however, on this particular day the rain had paused slightly and I took advantage of the break and captured this scene here. Shortly after the rain began falling again. September, 2009 Minolta 801si alpha, 24-85mm Velvia 50
