Lake Ogawara (Ogawara-ko) is the largest lake in Aomori prefecture and the 11th largest lake in Japan. I have been visiting Misawa City in Aomori for a few years. There is a spot on a hill here that overlooks Ogawara-ko and provides an amazing view. I snapped a photo today, and then it occurred to me that I have taken almost the same picture before at different times of the year. So here is Ogawara-ko in the summer, autumn, winter, and spring.
