Fuji zan

Coming around from Akihabara on the JR Yamanote line this evening, I would catch little glimpses of a sky that could only be produced by a glorious sunset. Having just passed Ebisu, the rail line was now deep in a trench and all I could see were these golden fringed little clouds, and a few glints off of office tower windows.
I stood at the window, camera aimed, thinking "Damnit, c'mon! Gimme a view!"
Pulling into Meguro, I wondered where I could get to, right now, to actually get some horizon.
Then I remembered.
The doors were closing as I exclaimed "Sumi masen!" and pushed my way through the other passengers and dashed out onto the platform, up the stairs, through the gates. "Baka gaijin" they must've thought.
I ran the whole half a kilometer to that one spot I knew I could get a sunset shot of Mount Fuji from.

Ah, the madness of a true photographer begins to shine through.
