I heard this morning that yesterday’s snowfall was the most in 60 years here in Kumamoto. Some public transportation was either canceled or slowed down quite a bit. Yesterday’s snow was also a bit unusual because it continued to fall until around mid-morning, and it stuck. Below are some selected shots from around the campus where I teach:

Snow on Campus: The PUK River

This is the main part of campus. It looked very different with the white and dark contrasts.

Snow on Campus: PUK's Library

If you entered school from the west side gate, this is the view you might have seen yesterday morning. It almost looks like a black and white shot, but I can assure you it’s a color photo (look carefully and you can see some red).

Snow on Campus: Near PUK's Library

This is about the same area, but from a different angle.

Snow on Campus: PUK Lang. & Lit Building

Not much to comment on, except I like the shot and the contrasts. This one is pretty close to the center of campus. I hope we get another shot of snow this winter. It was a fun morning yesterday…

Well, after enduring several days of cold weather, we finally got a payoff. This is a case where a picture is worth a thousand words…
