taking flight, hokkaido, japan

the coastline here is wild and spectacular and we’ve had a great day exploring on the way to our next hotel.

one of the places we stopped had these huge windmills and, initially, i wasn’t really taken with them. but after wandering around for a bit and stopping to stare at them from a few different angles, i made a photograph that looked how it felt for me – wild, graceful, as if i myself could take flight if i spread my wings and faced the wind.
