Shirogane Falls, Japan.

Shirogane is a small town in the mountains of Hokkaido. The town is renown for its Onsen (hot springs), the Blue pond (that was frozen and not accessible when I was there during winter) and the waterfall in this picture.

This photo was taken just before sunrise in winter where the temperature was about -20 degrees celsius and the colour of the water turns an incandescent, almost neon blue in the early morning conditions.

Photographing in winter brings on some different challenges which I'm not normally used to, but hopefully again soon, I’ll be putting myself to the test.

Sounkyo Kanko Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really good place for a good typical Japanese stay with the outstanding mixed outside onsen bath, the traditional rooms, and the delicious buffet breakfast with a very large selection of really yummy Japanese food. Also conveniently located next to all the Sounkyo attractions, and a 7/11 if you want to eat your own food at the hotel snack are."
