Wreathed in swirling mists, the mountains have an aura of foreboding intent.Just as spring ventures forth, a burst of snow on the high ground reminds us that winter lingers here in the Western Cape….Snow on the Boland Mountains
Know what you mean … mountainscapes add to the topography of being. Visited Tokyo this summer – a very busy urban space. Also visited Daisetsusan in Hokkaido, one of the highlights of our trip. Was intrigued by the expanding purple hue – racks of mountains into the far distance. Very beautiful.
You make me smile! Yes i guess there’s a big difference to living in the thick of it through winter, whereas here it’s a bit of a novelty for us. Even Table Mountain had a light dusting (didn’t last long), but Cape Tonians were a little startled by it.
Nature on the Edge 
We are also starting to see snowcapped mountains now, but it is not spring 😉
Ouch… that’s an early wintery touch, not quite through Autumn yet?
Mountains are probably what I miss most living in Tokyo. I grew up next to the Rocky Mountains. I miss them so thanks for this.

Travel enriches and what’s the eye-opener here (for me) is to realize that the seasons aren’t the same world wide. Nice!
Yup, it’s a good balance, this north / south hemisphere opposing of seasons 🙂
I hope not to see any snow this winter, but I’m happy to see yours 🙂
