Some days Mt. Fuji is there for the seeing but it can’t be seen. The humidity and brightness of the sun turn the sky and everything in the distance more or less white. On those days, as the sun drops Fuji San makes its appearance. I think this fisherman was too busy to notice.
You may remember this view from an earlier post. This shot, from Ebisu Garden Place Tower, was taken as the sun set to the west (left side of photo). You are looking north up the Yamanote Line to Shibuya and then Shinjuku in the distance.
Note that this looks much better if you have a big screen and click on the above image.
Christmas Eve in Phuket featured an excellent sunset. We looked for a place to eat on the beach but couldn’t find anything that would satisfy us all. We ended up going down an alley just to the north of McDonald’s and eating at a place called S&G Restaurant. The food was really good, the prices were cheap, and the staff was friendly. I ordered a creamy curry which was the best curry I have ever had.
This is the main drag (Thawiwong Road) by the beach. Eat at one of these places if you want to pay more for lesser quality food.
You can eat really inexpensively by eating at one of these stalls. This one is in Phuket’s night life center on Bangla Road.
The night before our trip to Thailand, we visited Ebisu to check out the lights. There was a nice crescent moon on that night a couple weeks ago, and Mt. Fuji could be seen as well (although it is a bit obscured by clouds in the above photo).
We are back from our Thailand vacation now, and I’ll start blogging that trip beginning tomorrow.
Meiji Jingu is to the right. Yoyogi Park is just past the trees. I don’t think this shot would have come out as well with my TZ7. I used my LX3 for this one.
Mt. Fuji sunset from Shinjuku (Tokyo, Japan – November 3, 2009)
On a recent, extremely clear sky day, after rain and wind, I went to the top of Shinjuku to watch the sun set. It was marvelous. And yes, that is Mt. Fuji (in the upper right part of the photo) from Tokyo. The sun set on one side of the building and then…
The moon rose over the other side of Shinjuku…
And then the people came out to play…
