The early morning view from the pastures of Asagiri Plateau, with the morning sun shining down on the side of Mount Fuji as it appeared between the drifting clouds, was a divine sight that captivated my eyes.

This is Mount Fuji with its fresh green leaves seen at dusk. This is the moment when you can see the true face of Mount Fuji, and it may be called Red Fuji, but this is a classic photo that shows off the color of the mountain's skin well, and it's one of my favorites.

There is an urban legend that says "If you see a rainbow on the moon, you will be happy." In the photo, the rainbow is seven colors, but to the naked eye it only looks like a white R-shaped mist. However, the moon was bright on this night, and the white mist looked a little reddish. There were few clouds, so I took several photos for about 90 minutes and compared them.

Comment:
The dynamic Shiraito Falls. I stepped onto the promenade and turned around to see a rainbow shining over the falls along with the sound of Shiraito Falls through the trees. Looking through the viewfinder, I saw an even more shining rainbow. I felt as if I had found a treasure box. I was engrossed in taking photos, adjusting the brightness and changing the shutter speed. It was a treasure box that only those who noticed while walking along the promenade could find.
