ISO100 Daylight With snow still visible on the Joetsu mountains in the background, a big cherry tree with a crown almost 20 meters wide stands proud, looking like a giant crane spreading its wings. Many visitors to this region are deeply touched by this magnificent tree. And nearby, the new life of spring plays an excellent supporting role. (Hocchi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture.
