Tsurara

March 8th, 2006 @ 9:55 PM Environment & Nature

I’m back from snowboarding trip late last night. Half of our trip we had really sunny days.

This is called ‘Tsurara’ in Japanese, usually hanging from the edge of the roof. My friend picked this for me to take photo, but she held it upside down :)
I don’t know what is it called in other languages. Any idea ?

In French it is a “pic de glace” ;-) “glace” means ice !
