I love the gradations of color in the sky and that the sky predominates. The scene looks so quiet but I find myself straining to hear a few sounds to offset the silence: A distant train clackitying softly; dinner noises and aromas from a neighbor’s open window; a passing motorcycle.
I listened to a Japanese version of the following Chinese song from the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) tonight. It reminded me of the atmosphere in this photo. I could only find this, appropriately enough, Chinese version of Parting at Yangguang Pass. Doesn’t it sound quite a bit like soprano sax? Is this what Kenny G has been channelling all these years? The lyrics of the song are based on a Wang Wei (王維) poem:
The morning rain at Weicheng dampens the light dust, The inn is green with the color of new willows. The gentlemen urgently offer up one more cup of wine. Going west to Yangguan there will be no old acquaintances.

What a gorgeous picture Kaori! Thanks for sharing.
I completely agree. And I am really hoping that I will not be forced to go out this weekend.
Beautiful sky!
This sky is incredibly blue. Looks like a restful night.
