During my stay in Tokyo a couple of months back I was caught in the path of a powerful typhoon ( Designation No.9, or Mindulle ) as it made it’s way up north towards Hokkaido. I was stuck indoors for the whole day but as the fury of the typhoon passed us by the skies over Sayama put up a spectacular display of light and cloudscape as the day ended, a beautiful silver lining.

(above & below) The tiny cone you see in the far distant near the center of the photographs is actually Mount Fuji…it looks quite a bit bigger in person. 😛
