Winter Silence Near Asahikawa
Asahikawa, Japan
A small stand of bare trees rises from a wide, untouched snowfield near Asahikawa, Japan, their long shadows stretching across the frozen ground in the low winter sun. Behind them, rolling hills and dark forests fade into a dramatic sky heavy with clouds, creating a quiet tension between light and storm. Captured with Daniel Kordan’s drone during a shared flight, the scene blends minimalism, solitude, and the calm beauty of Hokkaido’s winter landscape. Photo © copyright by Rich Voninski.
