Combination of town lights, twilight, sea of fog and silhouette of mountain is the theme that I have enthusiastically pursue. I'm relatively satisfied with the results in 2007.

1. Combination of Orion and the day break is available only in mid August, or in other words a few chances a year. Unfortunately condition of sea of fog was not good this year and I expect next year's chance.	2. It was actually very dark, but long exposure reproduced vivid orange sky in the twilight. And color combination of sky and town lights became so magnificent.	3. As time goes, ambient light condition changes quickly. This is another good combination of various lights.
4. Another impressive image of town lights and sea of fog.	5. This was taken another day when there was dense fog. Town lights lit the surface of sea of fog, and it looks like the night sea with swarm of noctiluca.	6. Though it's still very dark, orange sky was reproduced with long exposure. This is a scenery that can by made only by photography.
7. Feel slight wind in the twilight.	8. And slightly brighter ambient light make the scenery brisker.	9. As it's getting brighter, town lights will be disappearing in the fog. This is the final delicate duet of town lights and sea of fog.
10. Finale of concerto for town lights and fog. The sunrise will start shortly.

Key subject of these photos is the sky at sunrise. This is another beautiful actor in the morning.

11. It was a great morning glow at Mt. Kakezu. Everything was tinted in orange.	12. Another shot of the same morning in orange.	13. Wide angle lens gave us dynamic expression of the sky.
14. And the sun had come.	15. This is taken in another morning. Purple time in between night and morning.	16. The sunrise in the other day. Cloud over the horizon split the space into two, orange and gray.
17. And the sun fully appeared, everything was tinted.

Sea of fog is silent and keeping still before the sunrise, but once the sun lit the fog, then it moves dramatically and quickly, then disappears.

18. Expression of fog in the twilight. It looks like chinese black and white painting.	19. It's another day's fog in the twilight. It looks like wild sea.	20. It's getting brighter.
21. It looks like wild sea, too.	22. And the sunrise, fog will start moving.	23. The sunlight lit and warm up the fog, then fog will change its form.
24. Sea of fog was tinted in gold, and moves dramatically.	25. Oblique orange light makes deep expression of fog who is disappearing in the air.
