It was the longest break of this blog since started more than three years ago. I have no particular reason for the break except I have been a little bit busier than usual. I am leaving Obihiro this Sunday and I still have too many things I want to do before that. Today I rented a car and enjoyed the last drive around the south east area of Hokkaido Island. This is the shot I took at Oneto Lake. I have never applied any image processing on this picture just the same as most of my pictures. It shows the actual color of the lake. It was really beautiful against the patchwork-like forest over the lake. The weather was great, but the weather forecast says that General Winter is coming this evening. It seems to have come and tonight we had the first snow in Wakkanai which is located at the north end of the island. It is also said that we may have more snow in other areas all around the island this weekend. I should have leave here a few days earlier. I'm now scared of the snow because I have to go over the pass on my small motorcycle to board the ferry for Tokyo.
That's a beautiful photograph. I'm glad you're back to writing. I enjoy your blog thoroughly.

I found your blog through your eigo de blog website. Your life there sounds great! I've been to Onneto lake around 10yrs ago, I remember its gorgeous rainbow color. Your picture made me want to visit there again:)
