久々の御神渡り

この冬、糠平湖には数年ぶりに御神渡りができています。
真っ平な雪原に一筋の氷の割れ目が数百メートルにわたって伸びる様子は、確かに神様が通った跡のようにも思えてきます。

At Lake Nukabira, a raised line of cracked ice has appeared.
This phenomenon is called "Omiwatari" in Japanese. The meaning of this word is that it is the footprints of God crossing the lake.
It has been a long time since I have seen this on this lake. These cracks are caused by the expansion and contraction of the ice due to the difference in temperature.

タウシュベツ川橋梁は、糠平湖の水位低下に合わせて徐々に姿を見せてきています。
コンクリートの劣化具合はこれまで見てきた冬の中では一番かもしれません。

As the bridge gradually appeared, the deteriorated condition of the concrete was revealed.
Winter is still on the way. The Taushubetsu bridge is still in the midst of a harsh season.
