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!

This was from a recent storm. Went to one of "my" trees and was rather lucky to get that mood captured. I did some tonal corrections to bring out more detail in the sky (not HDR)

It was quiet along The Avalanche Trail when we hiked through it a couple of weeks ago. Sheltered from winds higher up on the escarpment, dappled sunlight coming through the trees, all the greenery, and an aromatic smell of cedar combined to make it a pleasure following the blue blazes around boulders and hollows.
Traffic stops on the Trans-Canada Highway as the snow is removed from a controlled avalanche.
While driving with a group to attend a conference, we were forced to stop and wait while snow was cleared from the highway. An intentional avalanche was set off to prevent a natural event from burying vehicular traffic. Fortunately for us, we ended up stopping near a place to eat in Golden, British Columbia.

Defunct chapel in hamlet of Avalanche, Wisconsin. The town never suffered an avalanche but apparently the abutting topography, which resembled an old avalanche remnant, was enough.
The force of Avalanche Creek cutting down through argillite beds created these fantastic colored bowls and chutes in the rock.

Well, after a very long winter here this year, the avalanche lilies are finally coming out. Though a good month later than they did last year. Did I mention that it's been a long winter?
Editing here is just my basic soft pop action and then added a border from my new Memoria border set.
Les stigmates de l'hiver, lieu à multiple avalanche en période hivernal, souvent la route est coupé par les avalanches, mèmes moi je fait très attention en cette période (en raquette).
As I admired the beautiful frost patterns on our attic window ; I had to think about the power of a snowstorm.
I have uploaded a previous image of these avalanches that rumbled down near us as we hiked back from the Lauberhorn to Grindelwald. I have only twice seen and heard avalanches at close range. They are frightening to say the least. Their noise is thunderous and to watch you just don't have any comprehension over how far they will travel.
