High Park and humans in lockdown. But Nature is untouched by the pandemic and flourish into beauty, every Spring, year after year. Humans can only watch and hope for better times.
Welcome to High Park, Toronto! Second year of pandemic. A big chunk of the park is surrounded by metal fences to avoid people crowding to watch the cherry blossoms. But there are a few lonely cherry trees that escaped the “lockdown”. And getting closer with a camera, can bring out the beauty and delicacy of the fragile cherry blossom flowers.
Hua Lamphong, also known as Bangkok Railway Station, was the main railway station in Bangkok, Thailand. Now the station was relocated to the Bang Sue area. The station was opened in 1916 and has since become a major transportation hub, connecting Bangkok with other parts of Thailand and neighboring countries like Malaysia, Cambodia, and Laos. Hua Lamphong is operated by the State Railway of Thailand and served both local and long-distance trains. It is an important landmark and historical site in Bangkok, attracting many tourists and locals alike. There are still some trains running from this station.
Getting closer to his subjects – and sometimes too close to be safe – is part of Ash Shinya Kawaoto’s photography style.

One day in February, a winter storm hit Toronto. The perfect timing to go out and confront the nature with a camera.
Fresh snow covered the city, and amazingly, for a metropolis such as Toronto, there is a oasis of peacefulness: the Toronto Islands. A 15 minutes ferry ride from Downtown Toronto and you are in the wilderness, well just during a winter storm!
