Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

Eternally mysterious Mount Fuji, as seen from Lake Kawaguchiko. On dim days—which is to say most days—it’s less a mountain than an allegation, obscured by fog and industrial haze, witnessing this behemoth is always a blessing. One meaning of the word Fuji is “peerless one.” Another interpretation, “deathless,” echoes Taoist belief that the volcano harbors the secret of immortality.

O bosque dos cedros

“A verticalidade deles era a prova da paixão e do empenho com que tinham sido cuidados.”
