The first sunrise of 2026 didn’t spread across the sky…
it rose with precision.
At Mount Fuji, the sun emerged exactly at the summit,
forming a rare vertical pillar of light —
an atmospheric phenomenon shaped by ice crystals and winter air.
For a brief moment, the mountain and the sun aligned perfectly,
turning geometry, timing, and light into a natural masterpiece.
No effects.
No filters.
Just the year beginning exactly where it should.
