Ice guardrails created by nature

The shooting location was Lake Shikotsu in Chitose City, Hokkaido, and it was early in the morning when a big cold wave of -15°C hit.
The spray of Lake Shikotsu, which was rough by strong winds, fell on the fence and gradually formed icicles.
The many icicles that form all over the fence are like guardrails.
You can see the harshness and beauty of nature uniformly

  • Congratulations on your selection for the 15th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS Photo Contest - Recommended Japan Sightseeing Spots in 2023".

    The following are the judges' comments.
    ------------
    Icicles of Lake Shikotsu in Hokkaido
    In contrast to the Chitose Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival lined with beautiful ice objects, Lake Shikotsu has a harsh winter. I chose this one piece that captures the natural beauty of nature brought about by the great cold wave as an honorable mention. The linear objects and the overcast gray sky in the background seem to symbolize the harsh winter.
    ------------

    We are still holding a photo contest with the theme of "Japan sightseeing spots to visit in spring", so we hope you will join us.
    We look forward to your continued support.

    Hmmm... I don't mind the cold, but this seems excessively cold lol. The shape of the icicles is kind of scary!
