A Collaboration of Autumn Leaves and Snow on Mt. Yotei (Kutchan) & More [Hokkaido Mirai Note (78)]
Snow-Capped Mount Yotei (Kutchan Town)
Thanks to the cold snap the night before, Mount Yotei is dusted with a sugar-like coating of snow.
This is an ephemeral beauty unique to October.

Enjoying autumn leaves and snow at the same time is a view unique to Hokkaido, isn't it?🍁!
This sight is only visible for a limited time and in specific places, even in Hokkaido, as the snow might pile up in a flash or suddenly melt with a warm spell.
There's a special beauty in that fleetingness, too.✨
The Shimaenaga Tree (Tsurui Village)
In Tsurui Village, where I live, there are many cute Shimaenaga (long-tailed tits) flying around.
If you go to a secret spot at a certain time, they will always come flying to you!
I'm looking forward to winter when they become perfectly round and even cuter.♪

The Shimaenaga, which lives in Hokkaido, is known as the "snow fairy."❄
Many people must be head over heels for their adorable appearance!😍
They are small and white, so look carefully near the trees to not miss them.👀 They might be right beside you...!
A Stunning Blue Vista with a Freight Train (Yakumo Town)
This is a spot where I often took photos in the early morning back when sleeper trains were running.
However, the lighting is best in the afternoon. Uchiura Bay was calm on this summer day, and Mount Komagatake was clearly visible.
The curving tracks are a perfect match for the long freight trains.

This photo truly captures the grand nature of Hokkaido.📸
Even on a long journey, time flies by as you watch beautiful scenery, like trains running along the coast or near a lake.
Looking at this photo makes me want to go out and capture a train running through nature myself!💡
