Found this picture at the following site:
http://samuraidave.wordpress.com/category/zao-onsen/

(other beautiful, unusual pictures there also)

Where-ever this takes you - winter, snow, life, thoughts, spiritual, nature……

No erotica - wouldn’t fit with this picture anyways

Please put your user name in author’s notes
Please give credit to the picture and site

No pre-writes that have an existing trophy.

try to comment on others who enter - it’s a nice thing to do

Enjoy!

NOTICE:

11.26.08 - just had it pointed out to me that it says up to 'true' entries - I don't know where that came from! It is not showing anywhere on my contest, can't even find that here in the edit section! I know I saw that wording also on another contest - AP quirk maybe?? Anyways, I know nothing about it, and am sorry for any confusion it is causing - if anyone knows anything about it, or how to remove it - please IM me.
Thank you.

- Azlyn said to hang on - maybe tomorrow we can all get "Tree" entries!...ROFLMAO

    HM’s not in order - they were all really good, and any of them could have been in the top 3 - had there been enough awards to do that……

    I don't know what that pic is but am guessing it is more likely cooling lava, maybe it is snow, I don't know, but doesn't look it to me.
    I like the theme though.

      Says they are Japanese Juhyo trees covered in snow and ice, frozen into these shapes by a cold Siberian wind...... I thought they were really pretty. The link has more pics and info on them.
