WORLD HERITAGE SITE PT. 1

Friday 21. Went on location to Gifu Prefecture's northern mountainous regions for CBC TV's Dai-Namo program. This time I was reporting from the World Heritage listed village of Shirakawago.
When we arrived, it was overcast and snowing heavily. Visibility was down to about 100m. Already 185cm of snow had accumulated, and the roads had become canyons dug out between the snow.
Taken with my mobile phone during the heavy snowfall. The snow on the roof looked ready to fall any second.... That or crush the building...
About minus 2 degrees with an icy wind to add to the chill factor....(cont.)
