HIROSHIGE—Travellers on Horseback in the Snow
Tuesday, Snow Day! Snow falling for hours, covering bare branches and evergreens, so incredibly beautiful. It’s like a Japanese print out there, and the traffic on the expressway sounds like the rushing of a river. Our contemporary, urban life seems far away.
Time stops. Except for the internet, traffic updates and flight cancellations, it could be a scene from another time, another world. A softer, rounder world, a world without sidewalks and driveways.
It could be the snow of Hiroshige. A world without snowplows. A world the color of snow.

River rushing white,
Softer scenes, another time:
Hiroshige snow.
A perfect haiku...thank you.
