This photo was taken on a trip to Japans highest mountain Mt Fuji (3776m). It's a good challenge to hike up and the view is absolutely amazing, especially if you manage to get to the top to see the rising sun. Japan was also known as "The land of the rising Sun" now if you climb Mt Fuji and see the sunrise you will know why. Anyway on the way down I caught this interesting picture of people hiking down into the clouds with the mountain which looks similar to a crocodile about to eat the people. Hope you like it and I look forward to your comments. Cheers.

If you could superimpose an escalator into this picture that would be hilarious. Where was I when this photo was taken?? It:s a funny picture.

@Colour blind: Hi mate. You were still in Aus when I took this one. This was taken on my 3rd trip up Mt Fuji. I'll look for some shots from our crazy trip up Fuji and post in the future.
Wild stuff!!! At first I thought that was snow not clouds. Awesome! Difficult exposure with that much contrast.

@Shadow Mountains: Glad you like it. It's one of my favorites too.
Great shot Darren, after climbing fuji I vowed never again...you've been up 3 times? mental.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks Duncan. I've actually been up 4 times and each time has had a new challenge. They say if you climb it more than once you're crazy so I guess I'm crazy.
wow. excellent shot. I like the clouds.

@Zoltan Fekete: Thanks Zoltan It was amazing being above the clouds and having both feet firmly set on land.
I was hoping to climb Fuji-san last spring, but it never worked out. Were the crowds bad when you went? IT does look a little like a crocodile, doesn't it?

They look like explorers from 1910 discovering paradise. The B&W is really effective.
