Sunlight Breaking Through Storm Clouds

出逢い岬の陽だまり

On my way back to the car, the sun briefly broke through the storm clouds, casting a warm, golden light across a patch of woodland on the southern slope of Cape Deai.

This headland rises steeply above the restless waters of Suruga Bay, along the rugged western coastline of the Izu Peninsula—about 150 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, Japan.

I managed to capture just one frame before the moment slipped away. As I repositioned myself on the seawall to try for a better angle, the clouds quickly returned, plunging the forested hillside back into shadow.

I hope to revisit Cape Mihama in the summer, when the vegetation is more vibrant, and if I am lucky, when the skies are clear. If the timing is right, I might even catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji rising on the far side of the bay — something I’d love to capture in a future frame.
