Typical Japanese Landscape 14

ww4

I had a request from Al over at TravelJapanlblog for more winter pics, so.....

The first one is from my favorite viewpoint over the Gonokawa about 1k upstream from my place. I've posted more pics from the same place.

ww3

All the rest are taken in the area immediately around my house, and they show a most common feature.... mist.....

ww2

I'm not a meteorologist, so I'm not sure exactly what the difference is between cloud, fog, and mist.

ww1

They do say that the tea grown here has a particularly fine taste due to the bushes being kissed by the river mist.
