I just realized that I really have not taken many images of Japan's iconic Mt. Fuji – I've climbed it multiple times, but have not really viewed it from a distance. Hopefully I'll be able to fix that this year, starting with this shot.
This was taken with fellow 'togs +adithya anand , +Agustin Rafael Reyes , and +Jason Arney last weekend in Izu. Big thanks especially to Jason and Agustin for planning in advance good spots to shoot from. Also, all three were very good sports about enduring the occasional "matsuya maneuver", a special driving technique of mine that involves mixing up the left and right directions. You should try it sometime, it does wonders for keeping one's passengers hearts thumping.

I need to get my shtuff on here quicker before y'all start embarrassing me with your pics!

It interesting contrast!
I believe in the Matsuya Maneuver! It's more effective than coffee or any other stimulant :p
I don't think that will happen +adithya anand – we all took something different!
+Yuuji Kone , indeed! I was thinking about the same thing. Especially if you zoom in the photo, you can see the walking trails that we climbed last year 🙂
Wow, I have seen a lot of fuji pics, but never one with as many whites and greys instead of the iconic dark base. I love it!
+Agustin Rafael Reyes , exactly! That's the only reason I did it, not because I got confused or anything like that.. "cough, ahem"
Want to climb again this year!
Thanks +Jack Webb ! I reckon the more even/muted lighting was because we were there at dawn to catch the sunrise (waking up just before 4AM to drive out here). This let us catch the reddish glow of the sunrise on the side of the mountain, and reduced the usual harder contrasts.
+Yuuji Kone , you are very genki!!
