Avalanche Fences
You see these wonderfully graphic avalanche fences all over Hokkaido, but they are often impossible to photograph, being located in hard-to-get-to areas above highways. As we drove by these great fences, Ulana had an idea of how we could shoot them. I was driving, so at the next turnout, I turned around, drove back to this spot and dropped her by the side of the road (see the pic in the comments for how small the shoulder and how windy the road was at this point) and drove down to the next turnout. I waited there for a little while and then headed back up the mountain and honked loudly as I came up so she could be on my side of the road to be picked up. Then we did the same for me to have my turn to shoot. Luckily there wasn't much traffic and it was easy to get to the side of the road as you could see/hear coming from below. That's teamwork!
Hokkaido, Japan
I wrote a blog post about my trip to Hokkaido if you'd like to know more about the trip. As well, if you'd like, take a look at all my images from two trips to Japan .
