When the Morning Mist Begins to Lift

October has arrived.

The daytime sun can still feel surprisingly warm,

but the mornings and evenings are beginning to turn cool.

On one of those crisp mornings,the countryside around Kakurekura was wrapped in mist.

Just after 5:00 in the morning,the rice fields and mountains were softened by a pale haze.

Then, as the sun began to rise,the mist slowly started to lift.

The mountains and fields that had almost disappearedgradually returned in the morning light.

It is a quiet change that lasts for only a couple of hours,and can only be seen in the early morning.

If you happen to wake a little earlier than usual,step outside for just a moment.

You may find a morning like this waiting for you.
