Japan’s largest emoticon

Not that this has anything to do with surveys, but it gave me a laugh:

Snow emoticon from Kumagetake mountain Hokkaido

This giant Japanese emoticon has been naturally formed on the slopes of the 2,210 metres high Kumagetake mountain in Hokkaido. Mr Kikuchi, the person who first spotted it three years ago as the snows naturally melt in August, took the photo from the top of the nearby 2,291 metre high Asahidake mountain.

The full story in Japanese may be found here.
