I will look into that. Well, I could still bring a terrorist since they aren't items, despite the fact that our government might like to treat them as such. Perhaps they are not the best behaved of humans, but the US has its fair share of moral faults too. Killing innocents in a state sanctioned assault is hardly different from terrorists dropping a plane out of the sky. Situations in life are not paintings, but rather sculptures that must be viewed from all sides to be fully understood. Hm, image comments. I will look into that.

All I did was change the sky in the 'moon' photo, and the sky and color tone in the 'Mars' photo. Yes, those first two really are from Fuji-san.

Each one was just as crowded as the peak, and they all had electricity. Despite all this development and the crowds of people, I didn't feel like it detracted from the experience. In some ways it added to it, making for a unique climb that I don't think exists anywhere else in the world.

I realized things were developed in Japan but vending machines on the top of the mountain just blew my mind. Guess I was never one for the development of mountains, and that crowd of people at top, wow. Know what you mean about the sand slides, I climbed Mt. St. Helens with my family once and they are really fun to leap down but really suck climbing up. Guess I should get back to the report I have to write, just cant seem to get the motivation right now. Awesome photos. Nice Post Nick. I realized things were developed in Japan but vending machines on the top of the mountain just blew my mind.

I've only been to the Alps once so far and that was to go skiing. However, I just found out recently that I only have to work till the end of August, so I have a 17 days before my fllight to explore Europe. I'm hoping to at least plan some good hikes in Austria and Switzerland. Then we can compare some Alps :) Man I’m jealous. I’ve only been to the Alps once so far and that was to go skiing.
