I like Fuji much better from far away

This past Sunday, Mt. Fuji treated us to a spectacular view. It had rained all day Saturday, which left the year's first dusting of snow. And my friend called me up about 10 am and said, "Go look at Fuji!" The photo does not do it justice actually, it was so beautiful.


See that 5 story gray building directly underneath it? That's my school! I ride my bike through those rice fields on the way to work. I know, beats a Bay Area freeway any day! But it is deceiving - Mt. Fuji is still about a 2 hours drive from here. I pass the spot where the shot was taken on a daily basis on my way to work, and 9 days out of 10 you cannot see Fuji at all. This is the best view I have ever had.
