HI

This is one of the great symbols of Japan and truly a sight to behold from any distance.
This photo was taken back in late March 2010 at 17:30 and light was fading rapidly. When I was there at the time Mt. Fuji was shrouded in low clouds most of the day. But then for a very brief moment there was a hole in the weather and Mt. Fuji revealed herself. By the time I had prepared for the third shot clouds moved across again from the left hiding most of the top. The moment was over.

I am a high contrast lover, but I really enjoy how somber and humbling this image is.
Nice capture

Those low clouds to the left give a great sense of scale and make the shot, for me. Nice work capturing it.

Hi
Both of you, your comments are very much appreciated.

HI
Thanks.
And very much revered by all Japanese. Most Japanese people think they should climb Mt. Fuji at least once in their lifetime. The ones who have done it say it is a bit of a struggle and very exhausting.

I'm not Japanese, but......I do, I have, I confirm that it is

And I will do it again: it's a spiritual experience.

Thanks for adding this image, I often wondered what the path to the top would look like.

On a different note, Mount Fuji has just this month (June 2013) been added to the UNESCO World heritage list.
