A chilly morning on the border between autumn and winter.

The dry, russet grass on the shore creates a bright contrast with the surrounding trees, whose colors have already been stripped away by the wind. Reflections on the calm water surface appear very vivid and clear, as if they continue to exist in two worlds.

But in the gray, misty morning light, everything changes. The sharpness of the reflections is eaten away by the damp air. Some become barely distinguishable color blotches without clear outlines.

The mist creates a transparency effect, as if the world is reduced to its very contours. In addition, in the mist, sounds muffle and acquire a mysterious tint, creating an atmosphere of mystery, enigma, and the fleetingness of surrounding existence.
