As the water level of Lake Nukabira continues to rise, the submerged area gradually expands across the lakebed. At this rate, the pillars of the Taushubetsu Bridge will soon be enveloped by water, likely within the next few days. Although the pace of the water's ascent has slowed, it’s possible that the levels may begin to recede again soon.
This scene unfolds in the refreshingly crisp air of early summer in Hokkaido, capturing the serene beauty typical of the region.
糠平湖の水位が上昇をつづけ、湖底に少しずつ水面の範囲が広がってきました。
タウシュベツ川橋梁の橋脚が水に浸り始めるまで、今のペースで水位が上がれば、残り数日でしょうか。
水位の上昇速度はだいぶゆるやかになってきたので、今後ふたたび水位が下がっていくこともありえそうです。
初夏の北海道らしい、じつに気持ちの良い空気の中の景色です。
