muikabochi 208 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 It was a last minute thing but a friend of mine had a spare bed in Hakuba last night so I went over there to have a bit of fun. Skiing was fun especially yesterday some really good snow up at 47. Today was getting waaaay busy at Happo, like Shinjuku Station it was! Well, maybe not quite. The weather didn't really co-operate and there was literally just a few periods of 15 minutes or so when there was some blue sky on show yesterday. Tons of fog, mist, thin wispy gassy clouds moving about really quickly on the mountains too, giving some of the photos I took a sometimes strange part-hazy look. So this is definitely just Part 1. Them there mountains certainly are stunning and I'll be back for Part 2 on a day when it is bright and sunny and I can take the pics that I really want to! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Not sure if this is the right way to put this but good art gets an emotional response and I love the desolation that some of your pics have Muik. The 1st one that struck me that way was the lonely snowboarders a while back and again, for me, you have captured that again in some of the pics above, great work, and great art. I look at the pics and want to know more. How did it unfold, end etc. THANKS for posting. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thanks. Yes I like that kind of look/feel as well pete. About where, basically.. The ones with the blue skies were from the top of Hakuba 47. The ones with people in from top of Happo. Link to post Share on other sites

PWL 0 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Wow amazing muikabochi. I can't believe you took them when I was there! I haven't seen much of those backdrop mountains at all while I have been here unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ta! VERY short window of opportunity PWL, literally minutes. Those mountains really are beautiful, shame you haven't got to see them in their full glory. Hope that you can get clearer views over at Shiga Kogen. Link to post Share on other sites
