富良野と旭岳 (Furano and Asahidake)

Both famous Hokkaido locations for different reasons, this was an awesome weekend trip. Plenty of dessert and other good food, relaxing twilight hot springs, and some really incredible views. I’m not sure I could choose any one thing as the best.. it was all incredible.

Enjoy a few photos and “my first short film”, which is really just something I shot on the gondola ride down the mountain, and then swapped in some elegant music. In fact the scenery is majestic, the music elegant; the only thing out of place in that equation was me, in a U2 t-shirt, jeans, and mountaintop, wind-swept hair.

旭山動物園 (Mt. Asahi Zoo)

I took a three hour trip to a pretty famous zoo yesterday. While many of the more exotic exhibits seemed closed or at least temporarily moved from the outdoors areas for the rather harsh wintertime, I was able to sneak a few really nice photos.
