side of the island. |

Drawn near Aonae port. This island lost many lives in a big earthquake

Otaru
10: 45 - 3:30 = August 5, 1995 - 19 x 23 cm
I got really sunburned doing this drawing as it took me a long time to
complete. This was back when the canal warehouses were still warehouses.
Now they have been gutted and transformed into museums, shops and restaurants. |

Mizunashi no tachi iwa ( The name of the rock formation in the ocean )
The color of the ocean in this area is awesome. I went scuba diving an
hour away from here. Lots of nice sea plant formations. The sunsets from
the tip of this peninsula are awesome. |

Rausu Lake
10:55 - 1:30 = August 17, 2000 - 17 x 25 cm
There is one path to this lake which is in the middle of a bear infested
area. On the way back I heard a large animal moving around in the brush.
I screamed and ran. ( I don't think you are supposed to run when coming
accross a bear but that is what I did. ) Such a beautiful day. This area
almost never has blue skies in August as it is usually foggy or cloudy. |

was done with Coupy, color pencils, crayons, and oil pastels. |
