Furano, Hokkaido
This morning on my way up to the ski lift I spotted all the snow-clearing action, so I whipped out my camera to get all the Tonka-toy action. Us blokes love a bit of machinery. The snow had been piling up in bit lumps along the side of the roads, so I guess it was the day to clear it all up.
The snow chomper dumps it onto the trucks
The snow chomper eats up the snow and funnels it out to the trucks.
The grader comes along and cleans up behind the snow chomper
the procession winds down the hill
the digger cleans up the stuff left behind
the snow plough pushing the snow onto the side of the road
And everything is all cleaned up. The snow is taken away and dumped somewhere in the trucks. Nice clean streets again until it snows again. Which is tonight. See you next week.
