Haiku by myself. Photo by Vytautas Serys.
I can almost hear someone in the car yelling, " Hey, close the window, shut the cold wind out".
This photo reminded me of Kawabata, Yasunari's "Snow Country". The haiku got a hint from the first sentence of the novel.
When I had chance to visit the same snow country, which is in Niigata, I took Jyoetsu Shinkan-sen train. It is the super express train with fixed window so nobody cannot open it. When a long tunnel ended, snow covered fields and mountains of Echigo-Yuzawa sprawled before my eyes. It was so nice to view such a pristine landscape from the warm and comfortable seat of the train.
