Species: Various Photographer: Tohoku Color Agency This winter lakeside scene on Hokkaido, Japan’s second largest and most northerly island, reminds us of how trees are remarkable survivors: here a range of species withstand sub-zero temperatures and permanently wet conditions that could destroy most plants.
