Not sure what these bins were celebrating, but I hope they had fun.

For how big it is and how much you can capture from it in both night and day settings, it's a little challenging to get a good shot of Lake Fujikawaguchiko (mouthful of a name). It's essentially just a touristy boat lake, so it's a little challenging to find a usable composition.
Previously I shot around this side of the lake at dusk and that night was very experimental (I already posted the only one I think I can use).
As I was leaving Iyashi two days later, I found myself taking the same road along the other side of the lake. Fuji was starting to disappear behind clouds again but it was still visible enough for the time being.
Near a tunnel I decided to pull over and get one last try at a natural landscape shot on the riverbank, a type of shot I've been a little devoid of in Japan thus far.
Through the dry grass I spotted this pedestal-like rock poking near the shore line with Fuji peaking out behind another forested range. In editing I took a few creative liberties on this in editing, for one, I curved the photo a bit (you can see it in the shore line) and redirected the lighting to Fuji specifically and not the sky. I recentered the light in the dry grass to lead towards the middle as if it was a leading line.
Interestingly, there were two kayakers floating on a turned over raft and waving their oars around (clearly asking for help), cops showed up about 10 minutes later and waited for them to come in. Just an out of the ordinary scenario to witness while trying to set up a shot like this.

​De grote natuurbrand bij 't Harde is onder controle. De brandweer heeft besloten Nederland gecontroleerd te laten uitbranden.
"Voor Nederlandse begrippen is dit een extreem grote brand", legt Landelijk Coördinator Natuurbrandbeheersing Edwin Kok uit. "Het klinkt misschien heftig, maar dan is dit toch echt de beste oplossing. Op deze manier kunnen we voorkomen dat de brand overslaat naar bijvoorbeeld België of de Noordzee."
Er is geen NL Alert verstuurd. Nederlanders moeten stilzitten en hun lot accepteren.
