Mount Fujiyama
Originally uploaded by Sidheart Chandrashaker
or Mount Fuji or Fujisan, is a symbol of Japan. It stands at 3,776 m high and is an active volcano. This picture was shot on a not so clear morning whilst approaching Tokyo Bay. Was thrilled at the sight of Mount Fuji that I almost missed taking a photo. I have been to Yokohama, Tokyo, and Chiba, all possible places to get a glimpse of this mountain but so far managed to see it just this once.

Suez Canal Sunset

Crossing the Suez Canal from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean or vice-versa is a journey through history. The Canal has been in operation from 1869 and was built by the French. The canal was later controlled by the British & is now run by the Suez Canal Authority. Many Pharaoh's have previously built canals to connect the Nile to the Red Sea in Egypt's glorious past. The canal is 192 km long. The maximum depth of the canal is 66 feet (20 m). It is a single-lane with 4 passing places[and contains no locks, unlike the Panama Canal. Read more on Suez Canal

Arctic Sea Smoke

Weather.com defines Arctic Sea Smoke as a type of advection fog that forms primarily over water when cold air passes across warmer waters. Shot at Canaport, Canada almost 10 years ago. I remember clearly, the temperature being - 20 C. If you notice the aft deck, it's covered in ice. I made sure i stayed indoors as the winter gear provided couldn't keep me warm. This photo was taken with a Canon Sure Shot PRIMA AF-7.

Sun's up & Shining !

Cape Town treats you to some fabulous views. This one was shot onboard the BW Lion. I had completed my midnight to 4 am bridge watch but chose to stay awake to take in the spectacular view the Cape has to offer and it didn't disappoint. This Sun Rise is one of the best I've captured to this day. The sun rising behind the mountains, burning away the fog and finally revealing itself was fun to watch.
