A fine day at Mount Arakura Sengen Park. This day Mount Fuji had a white cloud over the summit as if she was wearing a hat.
A lenticular cloud, or lens-shaped cloud, that forms when stable, moist air is forced upward over the summit, condensing into a smooth, stationary white cap.

Kanadorii is a historic torii (gate) in the city of Fujiyoshida in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, serving as the traditional “first torii” marking the entrance to the sacred realm of Mount Fuji. Reconstructed in 1957, it stands over 9 meters tall and serves as a premier photography spot, specifically framing Mount Fuji in its center when viewed from the street.
