A breathtaking scene unfolded over Mount Oe in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, on September 30 as a sea of clouds appeared, turning the mist a deep crimson as the sun rose. Known as a phenomenon in Japan, it occurs when radiative cooling causes water vapor to condense into mist, creating a blanket of clouds across the landscape. The mist takes on a reddish glow under sunlight, producing an almost otherworldly view. Visitors were visibly impressed by the breathtaking scenery.
