Description A much needed break from all the insanity, I spent the weekend with a friend in Miura and relaxed all day on the beach. Unfortunately, there was a lot of debris along the shore line from the tsunami, but as the sun began to go down, I climbed a small hill overlooking what would be mt. Fuji, now shrouded in cloud. Then, just as the sun passed below the horizon, a magnificent silhouette pierced 90 miles through the gloom and cast a great shadow across the sky! The sight of it filled me with a deep sense of wonder and hope, I felt refreshed as though I had just awakened from a deep sleep... Despite everything that has happened to us, Japan is still beautiful!!

The shadowed trees look like a moose. Anyway, beautiful shot. Lovely colors. Love the ocean and Fuji in the exact center clearly seen through the trees.

Fuji-san under the roof It kinda reminds me of the kanji for "home" (which is, as far as I remember, a pig under the roof). Japan is a home of beauty All my heart's with Japan these days!

Thanks so much! Yeah, we evacuated to Sasebo last week. Still in Japan, but farther out of harms way for now...

The silhouette provides a solid frame to such a warm picture -- it grabs and moves my attention. Good shot.

Very beautiful picture man. You definitely captured a one in a million here. I hope things get better soon and people can be connected with their missing loved ones. The people of Japan really need our help and prayers. And knowing Japan is a strong nation, I know they will rise again from the rubble and be stronger than before.

Thanks a lot old friend! The world needs more people like the Japanese. I have really come to love them during my tour here... We are evacuating Friday due to climbing radiation levels, but I hope we come back someday soon!

This composition is beautiful. I really like how the trees arch over Mt. Fuji and box it in a little frame. 'Tis a clever shot.
