Kyoto snow

The snow in Kyoto is light and playful.  It puts smiles on faces.  It's not aggressive; it doesn't howl or bite.  It doesn't try to disrupt transportation or stop commerce.  It doesn't overstay its welcome or leave a mess.  Like confectioners' sugar from a patissier's shaker it floats down retexturing the city, softening its hard edges, highlighting its dark planes.  It almost seems choreographed, curated.
