Disappearing with sunrise !

Kazu 

It seemed that the rows of poplar trees were absorbing the white drape on the ground. The plants were exactly breathing and creating what the creatures need to eat.

For a few minutes, I stood still at the west end of the premises of Hokkaido University and took some photos savoring the beautiful colors of the nature with the silhouette of the artificial products of human beings.

It ws so nice and impressive start of the day .

Thanks God, it's Friday!

 

At the crack of dawn!

by Kazu 

Almost no cloud in the sky interfered, speaking of the East of Sapporo . The moist evaporating from the agricultural experimental field of Hokkaido was still drifting 
as if it was expecting to be missing this fertile ground. The fog on the ground seemed to be shrinking and disappearing before the sunrise. 

I was and am very happy to see the scenery axd share .

The green field for cattle appead from was appearing from under the fog. The bright sunshine would soon delete the white drape on the ground but it was worthwhile for the jogging time at  the beginning of the day.

Evaporated Moist of the field !

by Kazu

I think I've ever seen such impressive scenery in Calgary, Alberta  decades ago outside of Hokkaido because big cities tend to hav no flat plane nor the paddy or veggie fields nearby. The silhouette of the skyscrapers? contributed to the beauy of this landscape so much .

It can be seen at the crack of dawn but the timing to see the mysterious evaporation from the ground is getting later than autumnal equinox.So I'll have to jog around only in the darkness in winter. 'll be missing this beautiful scenery soon.

Can you believe that the collaboration of t nature and artificial products was created near my condo.? 

The magic hour on that day was so impressive that I coul not invade the sacred zone on the premises of Hokkaido University that Ihad graduated decades ago.

 

At the dawn !

The illumination of the Mountain Lights in front of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono was like a scenery in the dream. The moving lifts with flames illuminated subtly created so fascinating and impressive scene on the hillside.

Most of the surface of the hillside was covered with bamboo grass and bush. Considering the recent brown bear attacks in Hokkaido, we should avoid trekking in the mountains but I've never heard of the ones in Niseko Area even though we should stay on our toes to avoid the tragedy in the forest.

We could come back to Sapporo safely and see the beautiful crack of dawn as usual. What a wonderful world we are living in !

 

Black Wood Grill in Resort Hotel Miru !

by Kazu

At the crack of dawn on that day, the collaboration of the beautiful sunrise and artificial lights on the road at the northern end of the premises of Hokkaido University impressed me so much. 

It was so nice start of the day and we headed to Nis again and had lunch in Black Wood Grill of the Reso Hotel Group Miru.  The menu of the restaurant seemed have been streamlined by culling "Wagyu Burger" and heavy and fat dishes. 

Our choice was  crispy chicken burger and cheese burger.The prices were between the normal Japanese ones and American . Both of themwere delicious but for the citizens of Hokkaido, they might be a little bit too expensive.

 

Sushi Bar "Matoi Sushi in Iwanai Town !

by Kazu

Affected by the strong wind from the northwest in winter and the waves from the ocean, the west coast of Hokkaido Island has many fascinating spots to take photos of cliffs, rocks and coastline. 

We visited Iwanai Town again to have lunch in Sushi Bar " Makoto Sushi". It is well-established sushi bar but other sushi bars in the town may be more popular and draw more tourists. 

These are the sushi dishes for lunch in the bar. The Papa & Mama sushi bar is not good at dealing may guests at once but please be patient to enjoy the chefs skill and the quality of sushi.   

 

Family Restaurant Century? in Bibai City !

by Kazu

On my way of business jaunt to Bibai City that had some coalmines  producing coal even now, we dropped by the Family Restaurant named  仙中里 popular for the citizens of the city. The interior and the display outside reminded me of Showa Era when Japanese people were enjoying economic development and the increasing income.

Japanese western cuisine was the restaurant's category and it had a small party room for the citizens. It seemed that cleaning up the facilities was so tough because of the many kinds of display. 

Other than that, we were struck by the volume of the pork cutlet curry and spaghetti topped with thick pork cutlet.

In order to thicken the pork cutlet, we could pay 150 Japanese yen. But the amount of the dishes seemed to be a little bit  too much for ladies.
