FUJI FROM KASHIWABARA - A Sepia Dream in Soft Colors

It's not April 1st anymore ? I guess that means I have to restore some order to the Japanese Universe after the devastation of my last post.

The above was taken at an oddly-lit time of day. The immediate foreground area seems to have been under some clouds, while distant Fuji-san is under a late-morning clearer sky.

Can you see the smoke rising in the distance on the far left ? Maybe a farmer is burning something, or perhaps they are making charcoal.

In any case, the effect is nice for the time of day. If any of your decide you want to re-blog the image, you are free to do your own brightness and contrast adjustments, or PhotoShop it into a whole new work of art.
