雨 (rain)

Yes, spring has come This morning a nameless hill Is shrouded in mist.

Just discovered Stephen Cairn. He is a photographer based in Gifu prefecture, Japan.
Japan becomes so beautiful on a rainy day. Mist envelopes the mountains, and everything becomes so tranquil, as if shrouded in secrecy.
It has been raining today.
