Lenticular clouds appear as the visible portion of standing waves which form above large obstructions (such as mountains) which stand in the way of streaming air currents. The clouds remain stationary despite the flow of air and then disappear when conditions such as wind, temperature and humidity are no longer favorable.
This is a time-lapse video shot from a position roughly 60 kilometers from the south-east base of Mt. Fuji. The original video was approximately four minutes in duration and sped-up to the current view time. Cloud formations such as the one shown here are seen periodically when prevailing winds and temperatures create suitable conditions. Though there was a strong high-elevation wind blowing across the top of the mountain from left to right in the screen the cloud kept a steady position as it slowly faded from view.

THE PATH OF WILDNESS
The Path of Wildness is easy to find
The course of a stream
Leaves blown in the wind
A beast’s track through the brush
And the direction of our first inclination
The Path of Wildness is an answer and response to a prescribed way of life which may leave some individuals with a sense that their living is little more than a series of pre-determined, step-like episodes between birth and death. The stages of living between these events: childhood, adolescence, adulthood, parenthood and senior are themselves natural and in accord with the needs of the species and most individuals. Many find their satisfaction in living this course and to these individuals I have little or nothing to say. Others though long for something more; something innate, genetic and seemingly calling. Adventure and change can give a degree of satisfaction and relief yet even these may seem too tame. To those who feel drawn to something beyond the entertainment and stimulation of senses I offer a walk along The Path of Wildness. Don’t bother penciling the event in your schedule, preparing a pack with goodies and supplies or even inviting a friend along, for this experience is along the course of your first inclination and you must surely always go alone.
