Southwest Slope
View of the southwestern slope of Mt. Fuji as seen from the westbound Fujikawa Service Area on the Tomei Highway.
Border Collie at Rest Stop
Pulled over at the westbound Fujikawa Service Area on the Tomei Highway to give her a short potty break and let her stretch her legs. (Fujikawa SA: approx. 3 hours southwest of Tokyo).
Driftwood on Beach
Driftwood on the shore of Miho-no-Matsubara Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture with Mt. Fuji off in the distance (43.56 km/27.06 mi north-north-east).
Concave Wave
Pacific waves on the coast of Miho-no-Matsubara Beach in Shizuoka Prefecture at sunset.
Sunset Light
Light from the setting sun shining on the upper portion of Mt. Fuji as the sun slowly dips below the horizon.
Rusty Chain
Chain on top of concrete breakwater blocks that line a portion of the coast that sticks farthest out into the ocean.
Rusty Marker Post
This old, rusty marker stands about chest-high atop large concrete “cubes” that are about the size of a small car and are lined up to form a bulkhead along a portion of the coastline that is jutting out into the sea. Mostly likely, the light on top of the marker flashes during rough seas to either aid ship navigation or to prevent ships from running aground.
Stump on Breakwater
Maybe this stump was once part of a fence to keep beachgoers safe, or maybe it held up a sign to keep folks away. Embedded in a block of concrete the size of a small car, this stump will remain until the constant ravages of wind, water, and ice further erode it into a mere stubble.
Crests of Turquoise Blue
With no recent heavy rains or typhoons washing debris into the Pacific Ocean, waves rolling in from Suruga Bay were a beautiful, clear, bluish green. Unlike a tropical beach however, frigid winds blowing onshore made my fingers numb as I struggled to time shots of cresting waves without a tripod.
