Wow, last time I saw Mount Fuji back in the 70's it had a snow cap on it.  :o

I thought that the snow cap was permanent? Guess global warming is effecting it.  :-/

Cool, but foggy pictures..... ;)

Very cool... and yes, I noticed the lack of snow right away; not sure if that's ever happened before.

Fun caption for #9:
"So what do you guys make of these local legends about a giant fire-breathing dinosaur?"

"I dunno, I- Ohmigod!!! LOOOK!!"

I was hoping for the snow cap too, these shots were taken in July of last year, there was still a little bit of snow up near the summit when we hiked to the top (pics coming soon)  and when I flew over it in Feb there was a beautiful snow cap, guess it just doesn't stick around all year anymore... :-/

;D Not because of friendly fire, but to get used to wearing it constantly when we got to the desert.



:P Battlefield rule #7...Friendly fire isn't friendly.  ;D

Haha well I didn't get much R&R on this trip but still had a great time up there, those Geisha girls sure have an interesting background, they even go through their own boot camp  :o  

Thanks for the compliments all, shots from the summit will be up soon  ;)
