On Wednesday morning I woke up with a pounding headache. Lately I have tried to slow down on drinking, and even have made efforts to quit completely. Well. my Wednesday morning experience after staying dry for a couple of months may be the last. I woke up with head pounding, but with a plan to go to Kumotoriyama - the tallest mountain in Tokyo. "Do I go with a hangover?", I ask myself. Then I reason with the situation and decide to check the weather forecast first. Well, it turned out that Kumotoriyama was going to cloud over a day earlier than originally forecasted.
I grabbed the Millet, already packed for a two-night stay (always pack it that way, so I can stay an extra day if I choose to), and headed for Tanzawa's Tonodake. This was the third time to this mountain, but every other time in the past, it was clouded over and could not get the photos I wanted. Those days are past me now. Up on Tonodake on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, I took a total of 285 photos - mostly sunsets, sunrises, and landscapes.
This photo was taken on a previous trip to Tonodake where the clouds rolled in just before sunset, but not enough so we could not see the sun set. It was taken with a Nikon D60 and a VR 18-55 mm lens without any filters. Enjoy!

I know what you mean. I've cut back a lot, and hit the gym more, precisely because I was so tired of missing a good climbing opportunity for the sake of a lousy hangover.
Looks like you got some great photos while you were up there!
