Snow Monkey in Nagano Hot Spring Amid Winter Snowfall

Photorealistic scene of a Japanese macaque (snow monkey) soaking in a steaming wooden hot spring in Yamanochi, Nagano, Japan. Snow falls softly around a tranquil winter landscape; pine trees are dusted with white, distant snow-capped mountains under a cool, overcast sky. A warm amber glow from the onsen illuminates the water while steam curls above it, reflecting on the macaque's damp fur. The monkey lounges with half-closed eyes, content and relaxed, as ripples shimmer across the water and delicate snowflakes cling to its whiskers. Composition focuses on the intimate moment with cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, and a serene winter wonderland mood.
