19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Mobile
Fujisan

While hiking the return trip of Mount Tanzawa, which ended up being 14 miles and 7,000 feet of elevation gain in 100°F, my group came across this stunning view just before the sun started setting. I love the layering effect mountains can create with clouds, and Mount Fuji behind it all completes the view.
