Fuji and azaleas taken from a higher vantage point from the terrace of the Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone)

This photo was taken at the Odakyu Mountain Hotel in Hakone, Japan, from the terrace with the camera slightly elevated to view Mt. The higher vantage point conveys the expanse of the garden, and the composition makes it easy to see the positional relationship between Mt.
