Второй день смотрю на выпавший вчера снег и стараюсь понять, что с ним не так? я что снега не видела?
Пока что я нашла единственное объяснение - это самый белый снег, который я когда либо видела. Он - идеально белый. Температура, воздух, ветер, время суток, продолжительность и объем выпадания... все сложилось так, что он - снег - лег в слой, который воспринимается мной субъективно как неповторимо идеально белый.
