Snow-covered Zen Garden Reflections

A tranquil winter scene unfolds at the historic Kenrokuen garden in Kanazawa, Japan where pristine snow blankets the ground while reflecting off the still pond's surface. Traditional Japanese lantern stands guard over the landscape amidst bare trees dusted lightly with snow. A series of delicate raked sand patterns lead to an ornamental bridge crossing the waterway, framing views toward pine trees adorned with golden ropes that mimic icicles under the soft light of dawn or dusk.
