FIRST SNOW 初雪 IN NISEKO - Autumn and winter colour fusion, white & ogange & green!!

I woke up with bright white window this morning unexpectedly........ It's another early snow arrival for Niseko winter season!! It's exciting !!But I haven't prepared anything for winter yet.... I decided to go for drive towards Moiwa to enjoy the first snow on the ground in Niseko!!!! It was suprisingly beautiful with autumn colour and winter fusion !!!! Never seen such combination white, orange, and green !!!! Now I have to start preparing winter ski gears !!!

朝、窓の真っ白な光で目覚めた、窓の外には雪が一面に積もっていた。突然の冬の到来に喜ぶ暇もなく冬の準備の事が頭に思い浮かぶ。。。とりあえず初雪を楽しみながらモイワまでドライブに行った。そこには今まで見たことの無い紅葉と冬景色、そして燕麦の緑色が広がっていた。今日から冬の準備開始だ!!
