After breakfast and a gap of some hours, we returned to Kotan, where we had been the previous day.
The owl is on the wall of the Juyo Original House, as in the previous Kotan post.
While we were there, someone, perhaps a local, walked out across the lake on the ice and disappeared into the distance. One hopes there are no weak points in the ice in the middle of the lake. If you can’t see him, click on the image for a larger view.

Thanks very much, Ian. I wasn’t sure how well it was going to work shooting straight into the sun but it ended up surprisingly well, especially since the 14-24 is a bit prone to flare.
