A TRIP TO HOKKAIDO 1/2.

We went to Hokkaido for 3 day trip. I borrowed a rent-a-car at Shin-Chitose airport in Sapporo and returned it at Asahikawa airport in Asahikawa. Then we went to Jozankei area.

    また北海道！でもわかりますよ、何度行っても四季折々素敵でしょう。今回の道東への旅は夏の花と秋の紅葉が混じっている気がします。ホテルのまわりのキノコをみると小人達がいるように感じます。山紫水明の国でもありフェアリーランドでもあり、北海道は夢が膨らみますね。お写真も素敵です、特に池のが。

    Ｙｏｋｏ

      Dear Yoko sama.
      こんばんは。ありがとうございます。　広大な大地を走る醍醐味は何度行っても飽きません。　警報、注意報の沢山出ている中、青い池に行ったときはたまたま晴れていました。

    The Falls season has just arrived and the trees in red leaves looked so pretty.
    I am so excited and hope to see coloured trees in Japan this November. Wait for me the Autumn leaves!

    So great that the rain didn't stop you and your amazing walks through such beautiful places! Amazing the sights: from the mountain gorge captured, then to the plain, fall foliage, imaginary smell of salvia, the pond, road under trees, a mix of all elements of nature! i really love this and I'm the same, even when is raining if I decide to walk, I walked...in one hand with the umbrella and the camera, in the other one..
    Well done! Grateful that you've shared them with us... Like always a pleasure to see your work!
