The shores of Lake Kawaguchi are generally known as a perfect vantage point for viewing Mount Fuji, and this is usually the case. On some days, however, clouds roll over the lake and obscure Fujisan from view. Dark clouds and rumbling rolls of thunder make for a dramatic day by the otherwise peaceful lake.

Photos are gorgeous. And, I like how you decided to capture the grey skies, instead of sunny!! Nice change of pace.
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. It was a great day to take photos - my personal favourite is the second one along, with the lone fisherman. At that point, he was the only one on the lake!
