My comments: Thanks to dinobatfan for pointing out that the "mountain that is in the background [is] sure not Mt. Fuji. It does however look an awful lot like Mt. Rainier in Washington State here in the U.S.A. Mt. Fuji is much pointier and almost too perfect a cone. It's also just not as bulky looking as this is." Absolutely correct! In my haste to create a beautiful picture I disregarded a very important fact: not all snow-capped mountains look the same! :( |
