Clouds reflected in a garden pool where koi can swim "in the clouds". Macduff shared that clouds have significant symbolic presence in Japanese culture and are emphasized in gardens. They are symbols of change, impermanence, mystery, and potential, as well as the domain of the gods and the sacred. This exquisite reflection was spotted at the Adachi Museum of Art in Yasugi, Japan.

"My husband was in Greenland last October just before the sun set for the winter and many of the Inuit in the village were out in the street marveling at these clouds, the like of which had not been seen in the area before. They were accompanied by very strong winds."
