Mt. Kakezu in 2005
<Before Sunrise>
Mt. Kakezu, located in north-western area of Hiroshima prefecture, is my favorite place to take fog pictures, and I've been there twice in August 2005, however, amount of fog was very little and sunrise was not available in the two days. So I took photos not with magnificent fog and colorful sunrise but with colors of lights before sunrise. Little fog gave us half transparent view of street lamps, whose lights reflected in the fog with delicate colors. Also ambient light before sunrise gave us bluish color of scenery.
 
1. Thousands of stars in the milky way and the silhouette of radio  wave tower on top of Mt. Kakezu 2 The Orion in the dark sky and on the colors of street lamps reflected in the fog. 3 The Orion in twilight.
4 Fantasy of colors by street lamps and the fog. 5 The Orion in the twilight and on the colors of street lamps reflected in the fog. 6 Another fantasy of colors in the fog and pale flush of dawn.
7 It's getting blight, and color fantasy became "Marchen". 8 Deep blue world before the day break. Feel silence! 9 Another deep blue world before the day break. Feel movement of fog!
10 Combination of blue and red, the light before the day break and morning flush beyond the clouds. 11 Dramatic mountain scenery with light fog. Sodium lamps give a strong accent in the image. 12 Another dramatic mountain scenery with more delicate expression of the fog.
13 Morning flush and magnificent scenery of sea of fog. 14 Scenery of mountain and fog like a chinese black and white painting. 15 Scenery of silence in black and white.
