About time I got some photos on here again! I do have my views on Fuji. A boring mountain to climb, but that feeling of being with the Gods is also pretty special on the conical icon of Japan. These photos (click on them for enlargements) were taken on flights from Tokyo to Osaka (top left: Fuji visible to the west), from Osaka to Hokkaido (bottom right: Fuji visible to the east) and from Osaka to Tokyo (bottom left: Fuji visible to the west). The ANA picture captures Fuji with a strange cloud cover over its cone. I'll try and get one from a bullet train on my rides up to Tokyo, but Fuji is very elusive from the ground so you might have to wait a bit.
I just liked the 'clouds lapping' photo (top right). It's the sort of scene that Japanese novelists of yore would have waxed lyrical about if they'd had the opportunity to fly at 30,000 feet.
