Views of Mount Fuji in autumn

Recently, we went to Japan, and took a short trip to Lake Yamanaka (山中湖, which literally means "lake in the mountains") and even a short drive up to the fifth stage of Mount Fuji. Here are some photos of Mount Fuji in her autumn colours.

Here is Mount Fuji with Lake Yamanaka in the foreground.

There were quite some swans swimming around on Lake Yamanaka.

As we were driving around the foothills, we came to this nice plain. It is actually a military exercise ground.

Here is Mount Fuji, peeking out from the trees as seen from the second stage.

Here is how Mount Fuji looks when you are at the fifth stage, about halfway up the mountain.
