Top of the world Photo

Photographer’s Note

I have taken this photo from Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji is 3776 meters, Japan's highest mountain. It has been treated as a sacred mountain. This is a very popular hiking trail for travelers. After a tenacious hiking, this was the heavenly view from the zenith of Mt. Fuji. This is a very rare view for me to see clouds floating below my feet. It was like flying in the sky.

hi Kuntal

Welcome to TE community. This must be a rare experience to stand atop 3776m and looking down at the world below. Mt Fuji is one of the mountain trek sites, of which Mt Kinabalu is also one at 4085m. I can imagine the altitude and challenge in going up to this summit. The feeling at the top is really very difficult to describe in words.

Good work.

tfs, bill

Hi Kuntal,

I was about to write that one seldom sees photos taken from airplanes so achieved before I read your note. It must be an unique experience seeing this stunning view alive.

The fog here is part of the charm instead of an annoyance, enhancing the feeling of "heaven". The mountain tops breaking the clouds renders a wonderful abstract compo.

I wonder if it would gain with a crop on the lower part and I would prefer that the (apparent?) horizon would be straight. But those are minor issues.

Regards, José.

Hi Kuntal,
Excellent view. Congratulations on climbing the summit, I guess not many of our countrymen have achieved this. the horizon is a bit tilted which could have been corrected but otherwise a great shot.
With Best Wishes
