Gallery - Swan boats on lakes in Japan

It is "Forest and Lake Appreciation Week" in Japan. It is actually on for ten days, rather than just a week - from July 21st to 31st. Unfortunately, it falls during the height of summer, and this year is a particularly hot year. So, rather than visiting a lake to 'appreciate' it, I have been sharing some lake scenes instead! In this photo gallery - swan boats on lakes.
