Actually, it was quite a scene. The sun did seem a lot bigger/closer than usual. =)

The picture was taken near Mt. Fuji, where people pray for long lives. In fact, they have a tradition there, where they boil eggs in sulfurous volcanic springs, upon which the egg turns black. Eating the peeled egg would supposedly increase your lifetime by 7 years. (No, I did nt eat the egg.) =p
