We’re now in Kushiro, a charming port on the coast, where we look forward to seeing the wetlands and Japanese cranes tomorrow before flying back to Tokyo.

Today’s blog is really about yesterday.  Still lots of snow about and quite chilly, but the scenery was really stunning and there won’t be a problem filling two days of painting for next year’s group.

Here are a few pics to illustrate, showing the Obako Gorge and the Ryusei and Ginga falls.

Of course next year, it will be spring time, but sure to be just as artistically beautiful.
