Snowcaps

Perfectly round “snowcaps” that form when snow piles up on stones in the river are something that can only be seen in winter.
The snowcaps in the photo clearly illustrate the process by which they are made.
As can be seen, they are formed by layers of accumulating snow.
Soon, the Ishikari River will be filled with these snowcaps, and a unique winter landscape will be completed.
