What doesn't kill you makes you sweeter Toyama 27 Jan '21

A bronze statue in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, at Himemiya Shrine. Does the snow-covered figure look like a girl celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony? It was so cute that I involuntarily released the shutter.

Snow piled up in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture.

With the theme of winter, I wondered what I could shoot in the Kanto region, where it doesn't snow, and the first thing that came to mind was birds. When I was looking for winter birds in the Japan, there was a bird called "Tsugumi", so I took a picture of it singing. By the way, the most important thing I tried to do in this shoot was to stand at the same level as the birds. I thought that by standing on the same line of sight, I could see the scenery as "Tsugumi" sees.

This photo was taken at Serigaya Park in Machida City, Tokyo. The season was winter, and as the autumn leaves were coming to an end, I was able to take photos that made me feel winter. Until we meet again.

In Gifu City, it rarely snows every year, and this year it rained, so I went to a nearby shrine to take pictures before work.

If letters carry warm thoughts and affection, I wonder whether a mail post ever feels cold. Toyama January 2021

I took a picture of the back of my parents' dog warming up by the stove with a Polaroid camera. It seems to be cold, and in winter it is always in front of the stove or in the flame. I like the stove, which I don't often see in the city, and has a sense of home.
