Sunset reds the clouds

Unfortunately, the main peak was completely surrounded by thick clouds.


Until the night fell, Kawagebo re-appeared again.

Soon, the moon came out and the stars were no longer bright, so the trails of stars were not obvious.

The next day, it was no so lucky like the day before, the whole Meili Snow Mountain was covered by thick clouds.
