A better shot of Mt. Fuji

Mt. Fuji behind Tokyo

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a photo of the amazing Mt. Nantai as caught in a rare sighting from my balcony, and I used a sunset shot of Mt. Fuji (富士山) for comparison. However, while going through my archives today, I found a shot that gives you a much better idea of what Mt. Fuji looks like from central Tokyo if and when it is visible.

This particular shot was taken in November 2008 and it reminds me that I should venture to the other side of my building on the next clear day:

The boat heading out into the bay is one of the boats that goes back and forth between Hinode Pier and Odaiba every 30 minutes. Here’s a shot taken from Hinode, while waiting for the boat to arrive:

      Thanks, J! :-)
      Both are 3 shots layered together (HDR), which is why the clouds look particularly vivid in the 2nd shot.

    Indeed. It’s so crisp and vivid, almost looks 3D!

    Happy New Year to you!
