Azaleas at Odakyu Mountain Hotel (Hakone), Mt. Fuji seen between clouds, blue sky

This photo was taken at the Odakyu Mountain Hotel in Hakone, Japan. I took this photo of Mt. Fuji and the blue sky when the clouds parted, while spreading out the azaleas. By waiting for the weather to change, I was able to capture the gorgeousness of the azaleas and the beauty of Mt.
