Today I joined my work colleagues for a trip to the iconic Mt Fuji. These pics were all taken using my 200mm lens and assembled from several shots spliced together in PhotoShop. The original images are big.

A pic showing a broad perspective of the vantage point I shot all of the subsequent pictures from:

This one zooms in just a bit, focusing on the landscape:

And this one looks at the top of Mt Fuji. You can see the zigzagging trails leading to top:

Definitely a “bucket-list item” experience for me!

A couple of pics taken while waiting for my flight home at Sea-Tac Airport, Seattle.

Conference 2008 conference in Santa Clara, California, and got off for an extended wait at Denver International Airport, which has to rate as one of the world’s dullest international airports. Basically a single, straight line with lots of docking bays for aiplane flanking out on either side. It sports the smallest Duty Free shop I’ve ever seen (with a selection to match) and a few sizable decorations, which are kinda cool. Thankfully I had my camera and my notebook with me so I could capture them.
