Okay, we continue, starting with September 17th and continuing through September 18th. This weekend we went to Yamanaka Lake, climbed Mt. Myoujin and camped out there - specifically to see the sunset and sunrise on Mt. Fuji. There was no more activity during September. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

The first photo is a pretty insect, maybe a kind of lightning bug?! The last 2 photos are some monkshood (Aconitum sp.) flowers.

The first photo shows Mt. Fuji from the Mt. Myoujin trail - walking through the tall grass. The 2nd shot is an unknown flower and the 3rd shot is a Scabiosa japonica flower. There was an abundance of Scabiosa japonica here - a flower which we had never seen before.

The first shot is of Kazuya in the tall grass. The 2nd shot is Mt. Fuji - looking through the tall grass. And the 3rd shot is Mt. Fuji with the sun over the top of it.

The first photo here is the summit of Mt. Myoujin (1,291 meters = 4,236 feet). The 2nd and 3rd shots are 2 butterflies - both taken by Kazuya.

The first photo shows a clearer shot of the summit of Mt. Myoujin and a small shrine which is there. Our tent also shows up. The 2nd shot is another Scabiosa japonica and the 3rd shot is nearing sunset - 5:31 PM. Unfortunately the sunset was nothing spectacular.

The first 2 shots are closer to sunset - 5:37 and 5:38 PM - the 2nd shot shows Yamanaka Lake. The 3rd shot is the full moon - taken looking through the tall grass. This shot was taken with the help of the flash.

The first shot here shows Mt. Fuji and the full moon - taken at 2:59 AM (pee time). The 2nd shot is at 5:01 AM - if you think you can see lights on Mt. Fuji, you're correct - the lights of climbers hustling to get to the summit for the sunrise. The 3rd shot is 5:05 AM.

The first shot was 5:05 AM. The 2nd shot was 5:07 AM and the 3rd shot was 5:08 AM, not much difference except in exposure time - which changed the color tone of the sky significantly. In several of these shots you can see the blanket of fog lying on top of Yamanaka Lake.

The first shot in this row was taken at 5:18 AM. The 2nd shot is 5:26 AM, a bit of color in the sky. The 3rd shot, another Panorama shot was 5:28 AM. We didn't get any great colors this trip, disappointing!

The first shot here is 5:39 AM, as is the 2nd shot. The 3rd shot was 5:43 AM. All 3 of these photos show the sun on the upper reaches of Mt. Fuji. The red color which is clearly evident on the upper reaches of Fuji is only red rock, not red from the sun, sorry.

The first shot in this row was taken at 5:49 AM, a shot through the tall grass. The next shot was 7:59 AM, as we were leaving Mt. Myoujin. A cute little cloud over the summit of Mt. Fuji. The final shot, of my DVD shelf, is now way out of date! Here is a link to my entire DVD collection if you're asking yourself what might be good to rent for the weekend! CLICK HERE.
