It's Father's Day in Japan. My wife and son are taking me out for the day around Mt Fuji, as it is my favorite mountain. My wife a native of the area, is taking me to one last spot. The place where the famous photographer Koyo Okada took the picture he entitled "Spring Lake." This photograph was the inspiration for the Mt Fuji image on the 1000 Yen note. When we arrived, I was wondering why there were a number of photographer there with their gear set up at his hour. Just as we were about to leave, I understood why, a full moon (98.x%) was beginning to rise. Sadly, the camera does not catch what the eye sees, which is a much lager moon that is seen in the picture. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful site and one that I had to capture.
