豪雪地帯=毎日雪が降っているから雪が多い。
だから、冬に天気のいい日は貴重なのです。

この日はアンヌプリビレッジ様のpodcast用撮影で、チセヌプリへ登りました。
NisekoPowderCompany様のガイドはぜひお勧めです。
素人だけではリスクが高い楽しみだけど、ガイドと一緒なら楽しめました!

1945年のアンヌプリ

今ではアンヌプリの山頂には簡単に登ることが出来ますが、戦争中、そこで戦闘機の着氷実験が行われていたそうです。

高空では、プロペラや翼に空気中の水分が凍りつき、飛行機に深刻な影響が出るためです
倶知安風土資料館には当時のゼロ戦の翼が展示してありました。

学芸員の岡崎さんという方にお話を聞いたところ、まだ、当時のケーブルが山頂に残っているとのこと、そしてそのケーブルは本当にまだ存在していました。

約二年前にちょっとしたマイブームだったスチームパンク。 この感じがなんとなく好きです。 で、当時使っていた携帯をそれ風にしてみました。

表面に銅箔を張ってあります。銅は結構やわらかく、竹べらでなじませていくと 自然な風合いになります。 19世紀ふうに、デイスプレイ部分はプラスチックを使わずに真鍮格子仕上げです。
 Gizmodeでもとりあげられましたよ!

もともと、あまり感度のよくない電話なので
感度がそれほど落ちた感じはなかったですね。。
