Healing Power in Hokkaido

Introduction

I have been photographed the beauties of scenic spots and the attractive moments of familiar nature. They were a kind of critical moments as though they were once-in-a -lifetime experiences. And sometimes I didn't feel I do take this wonderful picture by myself. I felt Nature gave me a capital chance and let me take a picture.
These days I feel my photographs have changed through taking a lot of pictures. I have been turning my attention to the beauties, excellence and life energy hiding in nature around us.
Now I would like to publish my photo collection to draw a line on my feeling and follow my traces. I want to keep photographing to enjoy nature and being healed from now on too. I aim to take pictures which make us vigorous (become lively).
