The Mountain
Näsänen Elena
A mountain stands partially shrouded in a thick fog, which shifts constantly. The sound of the wind gradually overlaps with loud voices speaking in Chinese, no one can be seen. The people sound enthusiastic, someone sings, a guide shouts through a megaphone. The sound of the wind returns and overpowers the human voices until they disappear completely.
