The dreamy scenery of the "Mount Fuji Pearl"=6:00AM, January 27, Araihama Beach, Misakimachi Koajiro, Miura City

The full moon slowly descended behind the summit of Mount Fuji, appearing as if it was being sucked inside. The surreal "Mount Fuji Pearl" could be seen at about 6:00AM, January 27th at Araihama Beach of Misakimachi Koajiro, Miura City.

Because the sky quickly darkened once the moon passed over the rising sun, this created an ideal condition for photography. Along Arai beach, 10 amateur photographers had their tripods set up, their shutters busily snapping pictures. On that day, Miura's Aburatsubo Bay was also an ideal spot to enjoy the "Fuji Pearl." Cameramen were seen lined up around the neighborhood, gazing towards Mount Fuji.

幻想的な光景「パール富士」＝２７日午前６時ごろ、三浦市三崎町小網代の荒井浜

富士山頂に吸い込まれるように、満月がゆっくりと沈む－。幻想的な光景「パール富士」が２７日午前６時ごろ、三浦市三崎町小網代の荒井浜で見ることができた。

月の入りが日の出よりかなり早く暗いため、撮影条件は良くなかったが、浜には約１０人のアマチュアカメラマンが三脚を立て、盛んにシャッターを切っていた。この日は同市の油壺湾周辺が「パール富士」観賞の適地だったため、富士山を望める付近のスポットにもカメラマンが並ぶ姿が見られた。
