WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)
-
Today was/is all about Mt. Fuji, we're here for 2 nights to do it slowly and do some hikes around the hotel as well as the usual tourist trap things. Oh and BTW, clicking on the images expands them inline if you'd like a closer view
On a walk back from the lake. tagged as 2009, really odd.
Watched this guy catch about a 60cm long trout-looking fish. Amazing. He took out of water, confirmed it's length, then bowed to it and released back into the water. Then he sung a little jig.

What an amazing trip Snowy. Looks like perfect weather to enjoy the outdoors.

@twin, being close to Mt Fuji has been on my list for years. It is quite awe inspiring. The area around here is very quiet, but lovely forests, you would like for sure
@summer, weather's been great, fresh, but not too cold. Still snow on the ground up here, but not really in the way.
@Mega, Thanks/Sorry?Today we went up to the lave caves and hiked between them, and then back afterwards. Seems that most drove, we saw 1 other couple in the hour of hiking - bliss. The caves themselves, christ, not my cup of tea at all. 23 meters down for the Ice Cave, with clearances of 90cms at some points, poor lighting, small stairs, and icey floors in bits. A great experience to see how ice was kept all year around, but not high on the fun radar. Hiking back from the station in the afternoon we stumbled across a random temple that was not visible from street view and about 2kms from anything touristy. Very interesting seeing a 'real' Shinto temple. May be a few days before I'm back online after this, off to a valley from the Shogun era next…

Thanks for the spectacular pics Snowy, what are you using to shoot?
-
Woah, is that Mrs. Snowy's actual hair color? I don't think we've seen her with a natural color, just blue/purple/etc.

Lovely pics - look at Tanuki with his big old bollocks!

@Giles, happy to post them to the right place, the Japan thread is all about travelling to destinations ATM, wasn't sure if I'd be 'shitting it up' by posting my shots there instead. If you're happy for these to end up there, LMK and I'll make it so when I've got some down time over next few days…
@Chris, pretty close, it's probably 2 shades darker than natural, but yes, it's pretty close
@MoD, yeah they're out all over the place. -
I suggest you start start a new thread here:

Today the hike, it was very enjoyable, good weather. We only saw 6 people on the 3 hour hike, so amazing to have to ourselves. Constant sound of water flowing for the entire hike which was heaven. Ended up doing another 1.5 hours after the formal hike to check more out, and found the delightful clock in a stone (one of the last shots)
