Well, after getting up early, making a 14-hour flight to Tokyo, waiting 3 hours to connect, I was on the flight to Seoul, hoping we would get a good view of the sunset as we took off. Well, we sat on the ground until the light had mostly faded so, as tired as I was, I closed my eyes.

I had my cell on "airplane mode" specifically so I could snap a photo, but my better camera was packed away. Then, as we ascended after take off, we got high enough that the sun was again just beneath the horizon, and the color came back. Even better, right there, silhouetted perfectly on the horizon, was Mt. Fuji.
Unfortunately, the plane began a slight left turn, making it harder and harder to get a shot of Fujiyama. I clicked, but the only half-good one was this one. The dark part in the center is Tokyo Bay. To the right, Tokyo, and down the far side of the bay are Kawasaki and Yokohama. Really wish I could have gotten better clarity, and a better angle on Fuji.
But, I guess you get what you get...
