Komezuka

Posted by
Hikari (Kumamoto, Japan) on 5 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

"Komezuka" literally means "rice mound" in Japanese. Legend has it that this mountain was formed when the God of Aso made a mound of harvested rice and that the bowl-shaped indentation at the top is where the God scooped rice to provide to the poor. Mt. Komezuka rises 954 m and sits in the middle of Mt. Aso.
In yesterday´s shot you can see it on the right hand side

Walter from Watkinsville, United States

Fantastic. I like the fact that the background is muted with clouds in the atmosphere which really sets off the mound itself.

This is really beautiful. I love the colours (particularly the sky) and how you've framed the mountain.
