A walk in the park will do me some good.

In the good old days before I ever heard of street photography I was obsessed with taking pictures of Mt. Fuji.

When I said I was obsessed with taking pictures of Mt. Fuji I wasn't kidding.
We would plan trips around finding new places to get Mt Fuji images.

How much more blissful can it get than watching a Buddhist monk at his devotions?

Or importing a smidgin of that culture into your own home?:

And how much more happy and peaceful can you get than by watching a cat doing what she does best?

In the 1970s I spent a weekend with a friend at a commune in the forests of northern NSW. Life was good.

Like you Mike, I spent time taking pictures of mountains. My favourite place was Australia's high country. I still remember taking this picture early one chilly morning from The Horn, on top of the Mt Buffalo plateau back in the 70s. It's a view of sunrise over the main range of the Snowy Mountains. There was an icy wind and it was so cold clambering around the granite boulders.. to be rewarded with this view. It felt good to be alive!

^ Beautiful!
Lynn, you’re a great story teller and photographer. Sometimes you tell stories with your images, sometimes with words and when we’re really lucky you bless us with both; like with the shot above.
Thank you for participating in this thread.

Mike did you ever study the print works "Thirty Six Views of Mt Fuji" by Ando Hiroshige?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty-six_Views_of_Mount_Fuji_(Hiroshige)
It would be interesting to try to replicate them. Sounds like you may have started already. Although it would be impossible given how much Japan has changed.
Or maybe the "Fifty Three Stations of the Tokaido" (I have always wanted to walk the Tokaido ever since reading Oliver Statler's book "Japanese Inn set in a Ryokan in Okitsu on the Tokaido - but most of it seems to be built up and superhighways now.

Peter, in the good old days I dreamed of such endeavors. Regrettably, it's not going to happen in the present days. I quit driving when I retired and without a car it would be to much of a task to accomplish.

In July 2012 my wife and I hiked (more like a long walk) to the top of Amariyama (Mt. Amari) located in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. And, why did we do that? Because the view of Mt. Fuji from there is beautiful!
On this particular day the light was kind of strange and it was really hazy, but I felt that the effort was worthwhile.
I think I was shooting with a Sigma SD14 camera and a Sigma 30mm or 50mm lens, maybe with both, I think it was both; hell maybe it was a zoom... I don't remember.
All the best,
Mike
