Mt Fuji New Years Sunrise

New Year Sunrise over Mt. Fuji. I slept in my car and started climbing at 2AM to reach the summit of a near by mountain to capture this picture of Mt. Fuji. It was a 1600 meter elevation change/climb from the parking lot to the top. This was take just at the moment of sunrise on 8x10 Velvia 50. I learned just how heavy 8x10 can be, especially when climbing on 3 hours of sleep. This one is on its way to be drum scanned.

Beautiful. I'm glad you made the effort.
 
A very different feeling from your earlier posting and just as beautiful
 
Thank you for the kind words. This picture was taken before the shot I posted earlier. This was taken just as the sun broke over the horizon, whereas the other was taken 20 minutes later.

I prefer this one, but I think they both are nice.

Thank you again for looking.
