These frames come from a winter journey north, taken along the way rather than at a single destination.
A small lighthouse on a snow-covered cape, facing the open sea. Two figures at the edge of the ice as the clouds turn gold. Light breaking through heavy clouds onto the water.
In Otaru, the old stone warehouses are mirrored in the canal. Completed in 1923, the canal was built by reclaiming land from the sea rather than digging inland, so it bends gently instead of running straight. Boats once unloaded cargo straight into the warehouses here.
In Biei, near Furano, a single spruce stands alone on a white hill. Its crown is shaped like a star, so locals call it the Christmas Tree.
Hokkaido in winter is quiet, cold and very clear. Most of these moments lasted only a few seconds.
这组照片拍的是冬天一路北上的途中，不是某一个景点，而是沿路看到的风景。
雪覆盖的海角上立着一座小灯塔，面朝大海。冰面边站着两个人，云正被夕阳染成金色。阳光从厚厚的云层里漏下来，洒在海面上。
小樽运河边的石造老仓库倒映在水里。运河 1923 年完工，是在海边填海造出来的，不是往内陆挖的，所以河道不是笔直的，而是微微弯曲。当年货船就在这里把货直接卸进仓库。
美瑛的雪原上，一棵云杉孤零零地立在山丘上。它的树顶长得像一颗星星，所以被叫作「圣诞树之树」。
冬天的北海道安静、寒冷，也格外通透。
