Not Spring Quite Yet: Mt. Hiei, Snowy Twilight

Posted by GJC (Kyoto (京都), Japan) on 5 March 2009 in Plant & Nature.

Despite gradually warming temperatures, two days ago we had snow. But the plum blossoms of Kitano Shrine promise spring anyway, and they have never been wrong.

I'm shivering just looking at this one. Those blue tones bring out the chill.

What a perspective! I feel like I'm flying over the mountain, just above those fleecy clouds.

You've captured the ancient and sacred feel of Hiei-san so well. Thanks for continuing to pop into my blog, I'm working on the IE browser viewing problem and again thank you for bringing it to my attention.
